On February 1, Hong Kong’s ban on cannabidiol (CBD) went into effect, with severe penalties for importing, producing, or possessing the substance, and CBD will be subject to the same strict controls as other drugs listed in the Dangerous Drugs Ordinance (DDO). The government has instructed that any products containing the CBD ingredient must be placed in disposal bins set up around the city by the end of the month. As of Jan. 29, about 77,400 items containing CBD, including cooking oil and health products, had been collected. In mainland China, CBD has been made completely illegal in 2022. (Source: FoodTalks)
