With the CBD market booming in the UK, it is completely normal to have questions about the law. Is CBD legal? Will it get me in trouble? Will it show up on a drug test?
Here is everything you need to know about CBD legality in the UK.
## Is CBD Legal in the UK?
**Yes, absolutely.** CBD is completely legal in the UK, provided it meets strict regulations set by the Home Office and the Food Standards Agency (FSA).
## The THC Limit
The most important rule in the UK is regarding THC (the psychoactive compound in cannabis that gets you "high").
- To be legal, a CBD product must contain **less than 1mg of THC per container**.
- The hemp plant it is extracted from must have originally contained less than 0.2% THC.
Because of these strict limits, it is biologically impossible to get "high" from legal UK CBD products.
## What About Drug Tests?
Standard workplace drug tests screen for THC, not CBD. If you are using a **Broad-Spectrum** or **CBD Isolate** product, it contains 0.00% THC, meaning it will not trigger a drug test. If you use Full-Spectrum CBD, the trace amounts of THC are so minuscule that they are highly unlikely to cause a failed test, but athletes subject to strict testing should stick to Broad-Spectrum to be 100% safe.
## Novel Foods Regulation
In the UK, ingestible CBD products (like oils and gummies) fall under "Novel Foods" regulations. This means brands must prove their products are safe and accurately labelled.
