Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Cannabis for Medical Use: Discussion

12:00 pm

Mr. Eugene Lennon:

A licence is not required if the product contains CBD only. If the product contains CBD but does not contain THC, it is not a controlled drug and the licence issue does not arise. People are accessing CBD, perhaps as a food supplement, and certain CBD only products are undergoing clinical trial and may become authorised products in the not too distant future.
