FAQ

WHAT IS CBD?

The active ingredient CBD is the second most common active ingredient in the cannabis plant and is considered non-psychoactive. In recent years, CBD has played an increasingly important role in medicine, especially due to its enormous potential. The doctors suspect that cannabidiol (CBD) has positive properties for healing and alleviating diseases and z. B. can help with schizophrenia, inflammation, depression and headaches (cf. CBD Ratgeber, 2017). However, these assumptions are not scientifically proven and according to the Swiss Therapeutic Products Ordinance, we are prohibited from passing on any promises of healing to our customers. CBD is not a cure/medicine and we do not advertise it as such to our customers. We would like to point out that we do not provide medical advice or make diagnoses. The Federal Office of Public Health has published a leaflet for further information.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CBD AND THC?

The cannabis plant has a total of around 80 active ingredients, so-called cannabinoids. The two most famous cannabinoids in the cannabis plant are THC (Delta9-Tetrahydrocannabinol) and CBD (cannabidiol).

Compared to the active ingredient THC, the consumption of CBD does not induce a high and therefore does not make you high. In addition, THC is illegal in Switzerland (see CBD Ratgeber, 2017).

WHY IS CBD LEGAL IN SWITZERLAND?

CBD products with a THC content of less than 1% are not subject to the Narcotics Act in Switzerland. The products placed on the market as tobacco substitutes must therefore meet the legal requirements of the products they are replacing.

You can find more helpful information on the Website of the Federal Office of Public Health.

CAN I USE CBD IN PUBLIC?

EXOTICS CBD products are sold as tobacco substitutes. For this reason, you can consume the products wherever smoking is allowed. A little tip: tell people around you to light your CBD joint. In this way you avoid astonished looks and find out in good time whether someone is bothered by the smell of your legal joint. Around such situations To prevent this, we recommend that you enjoy your CBD products at home where you do not disturb anyone.

ARE CBD FLOWERS LEGAL ABROAD?

In Switzerland, products with a THC content of up to a maximum of 1% are legal. Each country has its own laws regarding the permitted THC content. In the surrounding countries of the EU area, hemp products with a THC value of 0.2 - 0.3% THC (see Hemp Info, 2017) are permitted. Most of the products sold on EXOTICS CBD correspond to the legal maximum THC levels in Switzerland, which have also been proven by laboratory analyzes of each individual variety.

However, since our products usually have a higher THC content than 0.2 - 0.3%, the products are illegal abroad! We therefore strictly advise our customers not to consume the products abroad.

CAN I SMOKE CBD AND DRIVE A CAR?

According to the Institute for Forensic Medicine IRM Zurich, due to a lack of studies, it cannot be ruled out that CBD has a negative effect on driving behavior. However, it is possible to differentiate between legal and illegal consumption of cannabis products in a blood analysis (this depends on your frequency of consumption!) When consuming CBD products, it can therefore be assumed that no relevant THC values for a driver's inability to drive are determined.(cf. 20min.ch, 2017).

REGARDING THE THC RATES IN OUR PRODUCTS, IS IT COMPLIANT WITH MY COUNTRY’S LEGISLATION?
