Can I Obtain CBD Products in Berlin Legally?

Can I obtain CBD Products (cbd vape, cbd edibles, cbd gummies, vape liquids, cbd oil) in Berlin legally?

In Berlin (and throughout Germany) you can obtain some CBD products legally — but not all kinds in the form you might expect. The legality depends strongly on the type of product and how it’s marketed under German and EU law. 

• Buy CBD (Vape, cbd gummies, oil, vape liquids… etc) in Berlin
• Best spots to purchase weed in Germany

1. Generally Legal CBD Products — Berlin

CBD Oil (for non-ingestible use)

You can legally buy and use CBD oil in Germany if:

• It’s derived from EU-approved industrial hemp, and

• It contains very low THC (below about 0.2–0.3%).
  These are widely sold in shops, pharmacies, and online. 

👉 Many Berlin stores and even drugstores carry CBD oil products — e.g., tinctures or oils not marketed as food supplements. 

CBD Vape Liquids (CBD vapes) — Berlin

CBD vape liquids and vaping products are generally available and legal if they don’t contain controlled levels of THC and follow all vaping product rules (e-liquid regulations). (NR Kurier)

✔ Vaping pens and cartridges labeled with compliant CBD content are typically sold in vape shops or specialty CBD retailers.

Important: CBD Flower (“CBD Weed”)

Selling raw CBD flower for smoking is legally complicated in Germany.
Technically it may be sold as hemp flower for non-consumption uses, but smoking it could place it into a grey zone or risk police action unless clearly non-intoxicating and compliant with THC limits. 

2. Products With Legal Restrictions or Bans

❌ CBD Edibles (CBD Gummies, CBD Gum, CBD Edible Foods)

CBD edibles are not legally marketable in Germany as food or dietary supplements.
This is because CBD extracts are currently classified under the EU Novel Food Regulation, and no CBD edible product has formal authorization yet. Selling them as foods is prohibited. (Allowed Or Not?)

That means:

• CBD gummies, candies, brownies, and similar products cannot legally be sold as food on the German market right now.

• Even if you see them in some shops or online, they may be in a legal grey area or unsanctioned. (Verbraucherzentrale Berlin)

CBD Edible Oils — Berlin

Similar to edibles, oils marketed as “food supplements” also fall under the Novel Food rules and are not legally allowed for human consumption unless authorized. (Allowed Or Not?)

Key Rules to Remember

THC Content Limits

• CBD products must contain only trace amounts of THC (typically <0.2% in Germany) to avoid being treated as controlled narcotics. (LegalStatus)

Novel Food Compliance

• Foods or supplements with CBD (like gummies or edible oils) need EU Novel Food approval before they can be legally marketed — and so far no such authorizations have been fully granted. 

Medicinal Claims

• Sellers are not allowed to make medical or health effect claims for CBD products unless they are registered as medicinal products under German medicine regulations. 

How People Actually Obtain CBD in Berlin (vape, cbd gummies, vape liquids, cbd oil)

✔ Physical stores (specialty CBD shops, some health stores, vape shops)
✔ Pharmacies (especially for quality-controlled oils)
✔ Online German retailers complying with THC limits

Non-food, non-ingestible products like oils for wellness, tinctures, and vape liquids are the most common legal offerings. (Reddit)
