Selling the Sizzle tips on marketing CBD products without medicinal claims

Marketing CBD products doesn't have to be about medicinal claims. It's about creating an experience - sell the sizzle, not the sausage! Focus on wellness, emotions, and lifestyle without crossing the line. Read more: www.cannabistrades.org/stories/sell...

The Ostrich Stage One of the most prevalent and concerning issues is the use of medicinal claims in marketing. We are all familiar with the potential benefits of cannabinoids, but under UK law, promoting these benefits for a food product is strictly prohibited. Despite this, medicinal claims remain widespread in the sector, as many companies fall back on them to differentiate themselves in a competitive market. However, this is not only risky but legally unsound. Even if a product is genuinely medicinal, licenses must be obtained from the MHRA to legally market or prescribe it. In the UK, the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) regulates such products under Part 9, Regulation 165, of the Human Medicines Regulations 2012 (SI 2012/1916). Failure to comply can result in serious repercussions.

The UK cannabis industry must face the facts! Regulatory non-compliance is putting businesses at risk. Don't bury your head in the sand - understand the legal landscape. [Read more here](www.cannabistrades.org/stories/the-...).
