EU top court: CBD 'not a narcotic drug'
By EUobserver
The European Court of Justice ruled on Thursday that cannabidiol (CBD) cannot be regarded as a narcotic drug and is thus subject to the bloc's principle of the free movement of goods. "A member state may not prohibit the marketing of cannabidiol lawfully produced in another member state. That prohibition may, however, be justified by the objective of protecting public health," the EU's top court said.
