Just a week. Next August 7th, to the discontent of companies and consumers, comes into force the decree that includes the products CBD for oral use in the narcotic medicines table. But the sector associations are ready to stop him.
A confirm it to DolceVita Magazine is Canapa Sativa Italia, which together with ICI (Hemp Entrepreneurs Italy) will present as soon as possible appeal. Since "there is no evidence on risk of abuse or narcotic effect".
In fact, it is very likely that the TAR will also suspend this decree, as he did a few months ago with a practically identical provision.
The decree could violate EU regulations
How ruled by the European Court of Justice in 2020,”CBD cannot be considered a narcotic", because "it does not appear to have psychotropic effects or harmful effects on human health".
A historic ruling, which in black and white explains that: "A member state cannot ban the marketing of cannabidiol (CBD) legally produced in another Member State".
Furthermore, as highlighted by Canapa Sativa Italia (CSI), "the decree was not notified to TRIS (Technical Regulation Information System), the European Union system that requires Member States to notify new technical regulations before their adoption. This omission represents a further violation of EU procedures, which aims to ensure transparency and consistency of regulations between Member States."
What to do to block the CBD decree?
“All legal hemp operators are encouraged to submit a complaint to the European Commission, reporting the violation of EU law by the Italian Government", states CSI.
It's very simple, just follow this link and fill in the reporting form as illustrated.
"A"collective action demonstrates the importance of the sector and helps ensure that national regulations respect EU law", concludes the association.
