Hong Kong authorities decided last year to prohibit the marijuana-derived substance, cited the difficulty of isolating pure CBD from cannabis, the possibility of contamination with THC during the production process and the relative ease by which CBD can be converted to THC. Residents were given three months from October 27 to dispose of their CBD products in special boxes set up around the city. Jennifer Lo, who owns an online bakery shop “CBD Bakery”, will have to dispose all her CBD cookies and cheesecakes before the official ban.
