There are a growing number of stores selling CBD, also known as "legal cannabis", in Switzerland. Numerous e-commerce sites specializing in online CBD sales have also appeared. How do you find your way around, especially when it comes to "made in Switzerland" products? Why is Swiss CBD unique in terms of quality? How does it differ from other European products? We tell you all about it.
What is CBD?
First of all, you need to know that hemp (Cannabis sativa, Cannabis indica or Cannabis ruderalis) contains over 120 active substances specific to it: cannabinoids. The main cannabinoid is THC (Δ-9-tetrahydrocannabinol), responsible for the psychotropic effect of cannabis. Cannabidiol (CBD) is another cannabinoid. Unlike THC, it is not intoxicating and has no psychotropic effect.
CBD interacts with different receptors and reduces the effect of THC. The quantity and proportion of the different cannabinoids contained in the plant can be explained above all by genetics. By cultivating and crossing genetically different species, it is possible to create new proportions.
As CBD content is not regulated, it is always the THC content that is decisive. The latter is not detectable with the naked eye. Since July 1, 2011, cannabis with a THC content of less than 1% is no longer subject to the Swiss narcotics law; since 2016, products containing cannabis with a low THC content have been available in Switzerland.
In short: unlike THC, CBD products with an average THC content of less than 1% are not subject to the Narcotics Law, and are legal to sell and consume in Switzerland.
More information can be found on the website of the Swiss Federal Office of Public Health (SFOPH): https: //www.bag.admin.ch/bag/fr/home/gesund-leben/sucht-und- gesundheit/cannabis.html#dokumente__content_bag_fr_home_gesund-leben_sucht-und- gesundheit_cannabis_jcr_content_par_tabs
"Among low-THC products, it's mainly those with a high CBD content that are gaining in importance. Supply and demand are increasing rapidly. Discussions are currently focusing on CBD's possible therapeutic properties (antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anticonvulsant, antiemetic, anxiolytic or antipsychotic). Its medicinal effect has not yet been sufficiently proven by research. Specialized circles are also seeking to determine whether cannabis containing high levels of CBD and less than 1% THC can be used to reduce risks or treat problematic cannabis use."

CBD Switzerland: artisanal, local and mainly organic production
Swiss producers grow CBD cannabis, particularly in Valais, under controlled conditions indoors, in greenhouses or in open fields, often entirely organically.
Swiss CBD products are of the highest quality. Surprisingly tasty, the cannabis plants are selected and nurtured by hand with organic fertilizers, free from pesticides and insecticides.
The main advantage of buying Swiss CBD lies in the quality of the product. Indeed, Swiss rigor and method have enabled the rapid development of a whole specialized agricultural sector. Well-established and supported by innovative infrastructures, considerable resources are deployed to guarantee compliance with Swiss standards. This has made it possible to launch CBD production on a large scale and offer the best possible quality.
As the Swiss Farmers' Union (USP) explains, significant work has been done to promote the local cultivation of hemp, either for therapeutic purposes, since certain medicines are authorized, or for cosmetic purposes.
Hemp has been cultivated for centuries in Europe. Its use in Switzerland as a textile, food and medicinal plant has a long tradition. Somewhat forgotten, the cultivation of this plant is now booming in Swiss agriculture, where the area under hemp has increased tenfold in less than 10 years. This increase is primarily due to the growing demand for hemp-based CBD products.

Why buy CBD "made in Switzerland"?
When buying CBD products, you need to be extremely careful. Some companies do not hesitate to present their products in such a way as to lead the customer to believe that they are made from plants grown in Switzerland. But this is not always the case. Sometimes these companies source their raw materials from outside Switzerland.
So, as a consumer, how can you be sure of a product's origin? Swiss products have the controlled designation "Swiss Made" or "Made in Switzerland", and their extracts must be manufactured in Swiss laboratories. If in doubt, simply contact customer service and ask for the place of production and the laboratory where the raw materials are extracted and processed.

CBD Switzerland: what are the advantages of buying CBD?
As explained, CBD or "legal cannabis" has relaxing effects. It is marketed as a raw material (dried hemp flowers or powder), as extracts processed into oils, and as cosmetics.
CBD un is an excellent relaxant
Not only does CBD have no psychoactive effects, it even reduces the psychotropic properties of THC, particularly those related to well-being.
It is therefore an excellent relaxant.
Can CBD help?
Please note that it is currently forbidden to communicate about the properties of low-THC CBD. Research is ongoing.
Consult your doctor to find out more about Cannabidiol and the possible effects of CBD on your body. If you are undergoing medical treatment, you should also seek the advice of a doctor before consuming any product.
Conclusion
In conclusion, there are significant differences between CBD cannabis grown and processed locally in Switzerland and other hemp plants produced outside the Swiss Confederation, not least because of differing legislation on permissible THC content. This situation has enabled the development of a regulated and controlled legal cannabis industry in Switzerland, which is a guarantee of quality for consumers. It enables us to offer high-quality CBD products with particularly interesting effects. It is therefore advisable to select CBD brands offering products made exclusively from locally-grown plants. Finally, it's important to distinguish between cannabis-based medicines and low-THC CBD products, for which research is ongoing.
