What CBD oil is in Danish law

Short answer

18+ topic. In Denmark, cannabis medicine is often sold illegally under names such as cannabis oil or CBD oil, and frequently marketed as a food supplement, which is usually wrong. Most products with CBD count as medicines, and medicines with CBD are prescription only. One oral CBD solution, Epidyolex, is approved in the EU, and only for the rare epilepsy forms Dravet syndrome and Lennox-Gastaut syndrome. Selling a medicine without an authorisation is not allowed.
