Small Business.com reports …….German retailer Aldi has stated selling baby cannabis plants for 10 Swiss Francs – around U.S. $10. High and Polite report the plant is a CBD-rich variety containing less than 1% THC and between 30 and 35 cm in height.
This followed Aldi’s successful launch of smokable CBD organic cannabis flowers, last year.
The Aldi plant’s THC content is higher than in most other European countries as is common in Switzerland which has been at the forefront of the European cannabis industry for over 20 years. The European Cannabis Report from Prohibition Partners reports that in the 1990’s cannabis activists discovered a loophole in Narcotics Act.
Consequently it became possible to grow and sell cannabis provided products were sold for the explicit use of ‘aromatherapy’. Swiss law does not distinguish between cannabis and hemp on the basis of THC content, and so Swiss products can legally contain up to 1% THC, compared to the 0.2% standard across the rest of the continent.
Cannabis in Switzerland is decriminalised with the country allowing for the possession of up to 10 grams, although the purchase of seeds is a criminal offence.
