Since CBD was authorized for sale in France, the little flowers favored by many French people have spread into many fields. Whether in raw form, resin, oil, capsule or even as a component of cosmetic creams of all kinds, CBD is all the rage.
According to a survey conducted in 2022 by the consumer group UFC que choisir[1] , 2 out of 3 pharmacies sold CBD products, a figure that seems to have risen considerably since then. But what CBD products are available in pharmacies? Is it better to buy CBD in pharmacies? What is the price of CBD in pharmacies? Stay put, we've got the answers!
But before we get started, click on the link if you need a quick recap on CBD and its effects.
Since it has been proven that CBD is neither a narcotic nor a psychotropic product, the sale of non-medical CBD is fully authorized in France without restriction. [2] - as long as it contains less than 0.3% CBD, otherwise it's not CBD, but cannabis!
It is therefore possible to find CBD in any French pharmacy without a prescription. As CBD is not a drug, but a dietary supplement, you can find it in herbal tea, capsule or cream form without a prescription.
As you surely know, numerous scientific studies have proven that CBD has many virtues and can help in many cases. You can find many CBD food supplements in pharmacies, such as :
As you can see, with such a huge demand for products and so many practical applications, you can find a wide range of CBD products in pharmacies .
The question of the price of CBD products in pharmacies is a thorny one. There are a multitude of products for just as many forms and applications. The price of CBD products in pharmacies depends on CBD concentration, product form, quantity or format, range and brand...
Again, this depends on the store, the pharmacy and the product in question. All we can say is that, according to the UFC que choisir study [1] in 2022, products available in pharmacies were on average 10% cheaper than those available in specialist stores.
However, after checking with us, we're convinced that you'll always find the best price when you buy CBD online.
Again, it depends on many factors. You can also find very good quality products online or in specialized shops. However, the undeniable advantage is that you can ask your pharmacist for advice.
Although, according to UFC que choisir [1] not all pharmacists are fully aware of the effects and dosage of CBD (some even oppose the product), it's best to talk to a pharmacist if you have a specific health problem. Particularly if you are undergoing treatment or have a serious health problem.
In France, only two cannabidiol-based prescription drugs are authorized: Sativex and Epidyolex.
Sativex is a spray-on product containing 2.5% CBD and 2.7% THC. [3] Still in the testing phase, it is prescribed to people suffering from pain linked to autoimmune diseases and cancers that no other treatment has been able to relieve.
According to the conclusions of the follow-up to the experiment published by the Agence Nationale de Sécurité du Médicament et des Produits de Santé (ANSM) in 2022: Patients are relieved, the effects observed seem superior to those of available antispastic drugs, and patients prefer treatment with medical cannabis, which has fewer side effects. The SFSEP (Société Francophone de la Sclérose en Plaques) and patients confirm the interest of the medical use of cannabis in the painful spasticity of MS (Multiple Sclerosis) and wish its use in current practice."
Epidyolex, a cannabidiol-based oral solution, is prescribed for two childhood epilepsies.
It is prescribed after failure of previous treatments and for the treatment of convulsions associated with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS) or Dravet syndrome (DS), in association with clobazam, for patients aged 2 and over. [4] It is now available in pharmacies and dispensaries on presentation of a prescription.
In a handful of pharmacies in Belgium and Switzerland, natural CBD is only available on prescription[5]in the form of a magistral preparation.
However, since early February 2020 in Belgium, a Belgian laboratory, Amophar, has been selling CBD oil, but not for ingestion.[6]
