The Netherlands is known all over the world as a cannabis country. Not surprising, because coffee shops are allowed to sell soft drugs in the Netherlands. Nevertheless, rules do apply: the customer may only purchase a small amount.
Something similar applies to medicinal cannabis oil. It is too simplistic to call it legal or illegal. That is really more nuanced.
Opium Act in the Netherlands
Cannabis oil has been extremely popular for several years now. In the Netherlands too. This raises new questions about the legality of cannabis. Because what about CBD exactly? Can you just buy it all the time? Or are there strict rules attached to that?
The short answer is yes, there are indeed strict rules. These rules are similar to those in other European countries. Officially, CBD oil falls under the Opium Act. That means in theory that CBD oil is illegal here.
Legal under conditions
But that is not all. Because CBD oil is available in the Netherlands after all. And also legal. This is because the sale of CBD oil is allowed under some strict conditions. And most web shops comply with this.
These are the conditions in a row:
– The CBD oil comes from hemp varieties that are permitted by the European Union
– The CBD oil may contain a maximum of 0,05 percent THC
– The seller of the CBD oil does not make any medical claims
– The seller makes no health claims
– A clear recommendation regarding the dosage must be made at the time of sale: maximum 160 mg CBD per day
THC oil
Unlike CBD oil, THC oil is completely illegal. But here too, ground seems to be being gained, for example through the rise of Cannabis Social Clubs. One of these clubs (namely: Suver Nuver) was recently convicted of violating the Opium Act, but was not punished.

In addition to CBD oil and THC oil, there are also other options. Fortunately, the question about legality regarding these other types is easy to answer: the same rules apply to these types as to CBD oil.
