The Rapidly Growing CBD Industry of Europe

CBD use is becoming more common all across Europe thanks to advancing technology and lagging regulations. Global standards have not been put in place, which is having a marked effect on markets all over but especially in Europe. Currently in the EU, CBD products are being sold under the classification of "Novel Food," meaning there is little to no regulation for quality, purity, or dosage. Some contain trace amounts of pesticides, herbicides, molds, and toxins. The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has been slow-moving to put guidelines in place.
