CBD flowers can ease THC withdrawal by relieving symptoms and supporting a smooth transition. They promote better sleep, reduce inner restlessness, and help with irritability, mood swings, and stress. In addition, they replace the familiar smoking ritual without any psychoactive effects, may reduce cravings for THC, and support gradual consumption reduction – a natural, legal alternative for a relaxed exit from THC use. 🌿
But there's also a large group of cannabis users who aren't interested in just the psychoactive effects of cannabis, or not interested in them at all—they want to keep a clear head and prefer other effects. This shift in interest and consumption habits has led some cannabis breeders to focus on growing and spreading CBD-dominant hemp strains.
The mix of tobacco and cannabis in a joint releases thousands of different chemical compounds when it turns into smoke. It doesn't matter if it's with THC-rich or CBD hemp like CBD buds or CBD hash, which you can legally buy. Many of these compounds are harmful to your health: the pollutants can irritate your airways, put stress on your lungs and cardiovascular system, affect reproduction, and cause cancer. That's why, in recent years, there's been growing worldwide interest in alternative ways to consume cannabis.
Hemp products with less than 1% THC aren’t covered by the Narcotics Act – so they aren’t regulated. However, they have to meet different regulatory requirements depending on how they’re used. There are strict rules for products containing cannabidiol (CBD) that are meant to be consumed.
While the production, sale, and use of CBD flowers, CBD oil, and other cannabis products with less than 1% THC have been established in Switzerland for many years, the current ban on cannabis with more than 1% THC for non-medical purposes hasn’t led to less use or better health protection. The Federal Council supports an evidence-based approach to cannabis policy: For legal sales, they recommend strict regulations, making sure it doesn’t lead to commercialization or encourage more use.
Around 56 tons of cannabis are consumed illegally in Switzerland every year. This shows that bans don't completely stop people from using it. Plus, bans come with downsides. When cannabis is sold on the black market, there's no way to check for harmful additives, pesticides, or even the THC content. So you never really know what you're actually using. Would you want to drink a beer without knowing if it has 4% or 14% alcohol?
