    CBD oil Ireland: where to buy, laws, and more

    From where to buy, laws, and more, this is all you need to know about cannabidiol (CBD) oil in Ireland.

    The mainstream popularity of cannabidiol – the substance more commonly known as CBD oil – has swept nations across the world, becoming a key topic over the past few years.

    Often advertised as the ultimate zen smoothie, post-workout treat, or even an addition to a cup of coffee, CDB oil has grown to become the poster child for homoeopathic remedies.

    CDB oil has been proven to effectively treat a variety of illness, ranging from anxiety to cancer.

    However, it is often misconstrued as being the same substance as tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) – the part of the cannabis plant that does get you high – earning itself a mixed response from the general public and government officials.

    Let’s take a closer look at this misrepresented medicine, its history, laws, and, lastly, where to buy CBD oil in Ireland.

    History

    CBD was first discovered in 1940 by British chemist Robert S. Cahn. It is one of 113 identified cannabinoids (compounds found in cannabis) and makes up a total of 40% of the cannabis plant.

    Springboarding from this, some two years later, the American chemist, Roger Adams, became the first person in history to isolate cannabidiol successfully.

    During his studies, Adams also discovered tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) – the part of the cannabis plant that gets you high and also alleviates symptoms of illnesses and other disorders.

    While its benefits have been examined under the microscope for decades, it is only in recent years that it has stepped into the spotlight as one of the most trendy controversial substances due to its close ties with the traditionally-illicit cannabis plant.

    Laws

    The laws surroundings cannabidiol vary from country to country. There’s a lot of uncertainty when it comes to the legality of CBD oil in Ireland due to its origin and links with other illegal substances.

    More so, for CBD to be sold freely and legally in Ireland, it needs to be granted “medicine” status, which it has not.

    What has been legally approved is the use of CBD oil for chemotherapy, multiple sclerosis, and epilepsy.

    In addition, CBD oil in Ireland can be sold in shops and pharmacies as a food supplement as long as the product contains less than 0.2% THC and is made from hemp extracts.

    Aside from the vast grey area that surrounds its sale and legality, it is vital to note that it is, in fact, legal to buy CBD oil in Ireland.

    There are many places where you can purchase CBD oil, from the high street outlets to online shops.

    What is important to note is that to abide by Irish law, only products with less than 0.2% THC are legal on the Emerald Isle.

    If you’re looking to dip your toe in the waters of CBD, these three stores are the top places to buy CBD oil in Ireland.
