"The Cannabis Act in Canada which came into force recently legalises and regulates the recreational cannabis use. Cannabis containing foods and beverages may be available in Canada. In Hong Kong, under the Dangerous Drugs Ordinance (Cap.134), illicit import of cannabis or any products that contain controlled cannabinoids (such as tetrahydro-cannabinol, or "THC") constitutes a criminal offence. Cannabidiol (CBD) is another cannabinoid present in cannabis plants but is not a dangerous drug controlled under Cap. 134. However, since it is difficult to extract pure CBD, food products and drinks that contain CBD may highly likely contain other controlled cannabinoids."

Kanna HK is currently in communication with the FEHD to request what documentation they would accept to certify that our to-be imported products are 100%-Free of THC and 100%-Free of other conrolled cannabinoids.
