- A new law criminalising the possession, consumption and selling of cannabidiol in Hong Kong came into effect on Wednesday, placing the substance on par with heroin in terms of legal classification.
Hong Kong authorities, however, have said those claims “lack authoritative scientific proof” and have justified their ban by arguing the products could be converted into the intoxicating compound THC, which was already illegal in the city. CBD is legal in the United States and parts of Europe, as well as in some Asian nations such as Japan and Thailand.
“We had to stop selling a best-selling beer and we still get customers calling to ask about the product daily,” Mr Chris Wong, co-founder of the HK Brewcraft store, told AFP.
