Frequently Asked Questions

Can you help me find a payment processor for my Cannabis business?

Finding a payment processor for a CBD business can be tough because many financial institutions consider the industry high-risk. This high-risk designation is because of the complex legal and regulatory environment surrounding CBD products.

But we can help. We have connections with UK and European payment processors that will work with CBD businesses. These processors do standard transactions and support subscription-based payments on your website. Our expertise and network mean you get access to reliable payment solutions so you can focus on growing your business, not payment processing headaches.

What platform do you use for Cannabis/CBD websites?

We use WordPress and WooCommerce to build and manage CBD websites. WordPress is a powerful open-source content management system that gives us total control over everything on your website. This open-source nature sets it apart from proprietary platforms like Shopify, where limitations on customisation and functionality can be restricted.

Using WordPress with WooCommerce, an open-source e-commerce plugin, gives us flexibility and scalability. We can create a custom online store for your CBD business that can grow and adapt as your business grows.

One of the big advantages of using WordPress and WooCommerce is the wider range of payment gateways. Unlike Shopify, which restricts you to its payment system and a limited selection of third-party gateways, WooCommerce supports many payment processors. This is especially good for CBD businesses, which are often high-risk and require special payment solutions. With WooCommerce, we can integrate multiple payment gateways so you have multiple reliable and diverse ways to process transactions.

By choosing WordPress and WooCommerce, you get a flexible, secure and highly customisable platform that controls your website and supports your business’s unique needs and goals.

Is Cannabis illegal?

US

Yes and no. Recreational cannabis use is legal in many states, but it’s not legal at a federal level. This means the federal government can’t force the state government to arrest cannabis users and sellers, but cannabis is just as illegal as heroin at a federal level.

This makes it challenging for cannabis dispensaries and even CBD sellers. Banks and other institutions are usually bound by federal law, and therefore, establishing payment gateways and other financial aspects of a cannabis business can be restricted without these service providers.

UK

Yes. Classified as a Class B drug with severe penalties, recreational cannabis use is illegal in the UK. Medical cannabis has been legal since 2018 but requires a prescription from a registered specialist doctor.

EU

Recreational cannabis use is illegal in all EU countries except Malta. There are plans to legalise cannabis in several other EU countries, including Germany, Luxembourg and Switzerland. In the Netherlands, cannabis use is tolerated in certain circumstances.

Is CBD Oil illegal?

US

No. When the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018 (also known as the Farm Bill) was signed into law, CBD oil’s manufacture, sale and transport became legal at a federal level. For CBD oil to be legal, it must be derived from hemp with 0.3% THC or less.

UK

No. CBD oil is legal in the UK as long as the THC level in the hemp plant is below 0.2%. However, CBD food products require authorisation under the Novel Foods Act before being sold in the UK. No CBD extracts or isolates have been authorised.

EU

No. According to the highest court in Europe, CBD oil is not a narcotic drug as it has not been shown to have harmful or psychotropic effects. CBD is, therefore, legal in all EU countries.

Is it legal to sell CBD flower in the UK?

No. Industrial hemp (from which CBD is extracted) falls under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971. The parts of the plant that are not controlled are the stems, stalk and seeds once separated from the plant. Everything else is classified as Cannabis, which is a Class B drug (whether it’s marijuana or hemp).

So CBD flower or CBD bud is illegal to sell in the UK, no matter the THC level. This is different in the EU, where hemp flowers can be sold.
