Know-how: Why is Swiss CBD so popular?

For 5 years now, Switzerland has been legalizing the sale of CBD or cannabidiol in dedicated CBD Shops and on various websites. Tobacco shops have also been invaded by the green tide of Swiss CBD. This country has a few advantages over Europe, as it is not officially part of it, although it is landlocked around European countries. Switzerland has legalized CBD with a THC level of 1%, while the rest of Europe is still at 0.2% (which will certainly rise to 0.3% THC in the times to come). Also ahead of the curve on drug and addiction issues, Switzerland often facilitates dialogue within its population by regularly organizing referendums. This makes it easier for the Swiss CBD community to develop with dignity and under the right conditions.

History of CBD Switzerland

There are pioneers who have been growing hemp in the Swiss mountains for years, not necessarily following the rules. This is the well-known case of ecologist Bernard Rappaz, the Swiss hemp entrepreneur who began his life as a winegrower and oenologist, but soon got close to hemp. At the time, the laws for Swiss CBD were very different from today's, and Bernard Rappaz was imprisoned. In 2017, he managed to revive his cultivation and set up his CBD business. This man was the face of Swiss CBD and hemp cultivation for years, and when the world realized that hemp wellness cultivation was possible, another story began.

Today, very wealthy investors have put their money into Swiss CBD, enabling other companies to grow up around this market. The Swiss CBD market experienced a phenomenal boom, and then around 30% of stores were forced to close. The market has now regulated itself, allowing the Swiss CBD business to continue.

The quality of Swiss CBD

As everywhere, the quality of Swiss CBD can vary, from very poor to excellent! The quality of Swiss CBD comes first and foremost from the people who grow the plants. Depending on the type of cultivation and the varieties selected, the quality will inevitably vary.

CBD outdoor cultivation Switzerland

Here, bad weather can really affect the quality of CBD flowers. Outdoor cultivation is outdoors, and Switzerland is a mountainous country with a pretty good climate in summer, but if the crops are placed high up, a cold windstorm or rainstorm can dampen hopes of a good harvest.

Swiss CBD green house culture

In a country like Switzerland, it's a good idea to grow in a Greenhouse, as the atmosphere is truly optimal, and cold and bad weather are kept under control. The quality of the flowers will really come to the fore, and Swiss growers can be truly proud of the quality of their CBD.

Indoor CBD cultivation Switzerland

Indoor cultivation makes much more sense when it comes to producing premium CBD flowers. Bad weather is no longer a problem, plants are pampered and, above all, cultivation inputs are 100% under control. CBD Switzerland's follow-up is often superior in order to maximize the harvest but also, and above all, to obtain the best possible quality flowers.

As mentioned above, the quality of Swiss CBD comes from the retailers you have carefully selected. Every grower works differently. There's no school in Europe that teaches you exactly how to grow legal cannabis properly, and above all, how to get the best quality out of it. Experience and personal investment are the only way for a grower to produce a quality product. Our team will therefore advise you to always ask in advance about the production methods and types of inputs the producer may have used before buying Swiss CBD.

Swiss CBD legislation

Under Swiss law, wellness cannabis is authorized as long as the THC content does not exceed 1%. It is therefore possible to buy Swiss CBD, but only in Switzerland. Surrounding countries have not yet accepted such high THC levels. Before being sold on the Swiss market, Swiss CBD is subject to approval by the agricultural, public health and food safety authorities. This allows producers and retailers to promote the quality of Swiss CBD products.

Swiss producers have had to adapt to the countries around them, as none have a THC threshold of 1%, and to enable these same producers to export their products, they grow legal cannabis plants with THC levels of less than 0.2%. Their aim is also to show and prove the exceptional quality they are capable of producing, given their lead in this market.

The effects of CBD Switzerland

Like the rest of the world's CBD, Swiss CBD has no added or subtracted effect. As a reminder, CBD, whose full name is cannabidiol, is a molecule derived from the cannabis plant. It has a number of highly interesting virtues that can help people suffering from a variety of ailments. CBD is well known for its anti-inflammatory benefits, helping to reduce muscle and joint pain, making it a real partner for people undergoing rehabilitation or post-operation. Cannabidiol is also known for its anti-epileptic properties, drastically reducing seizures in patients suffering from this pathology. In fact, this has been the driving force behind the CBD campaign in the USA to ensure that CBD gets the place it deserves. CBD is a natural anxiolytic, making it possible to accompany and even resolve problems linked to anxiety attacks and everyday stress.
