Hong Kong’s ban on cannabidiol (CBD) comes into effect on February 1, imposing harsh penalties for importing, producing, or possessing the substance.
CBD will be subject to the same strict controls as other drugs listed under the Dangerous Drugs Ordinance (DDO).
The importation of goods containing the component, including food and beverages, is forbidden, according to Hong Kong's customs administration, unless pertinent DDO rules are followed.
Au-Yeung Ka-lun, a customs intelligence officer, stated that CBD will be treated as a dangerous narcotic and will be governed by the Dangerous Drugs Ordinance.
The maximum punishment for importing, exporting, and producing CBD is a HKD 5 million fine and a life sentence. The maximum penalty for possession is seven years in prison and a fine of up to HKD 1 million.
By the end of the month, all items containing the component were to be put in trash boxes erected throughout the city, according to a government directive. Approximately 77,400 CBD-containing products, including dietary supplements and edible oils, have been gathered as of January 29.
