Buying CBD in Switzerland: Advice and precautions
Before buying Swiss CBD, it’s best to know a bit about the subject! On the one hand, Swiss legislation isn’t exactly the same when it comes to THC levels, and on the other hand, the products sold in France and Switzerland aren’t necessarily the same. To buy CBD in Switzerland, you need to understand certain aspects that will help you make the right choice. Not only will you get higher-quality cannabidiol, but you’ll also avoid any issues at customs, for example.
Key points to remember:
- Buying CBD in Switzerland requires knowledge of the legislation, particularly the permitted THC level (<1%).
- CBD resins are banned from sale in Switzerland.
- In France, the permitted THC level for CBD products is 0.2%.
- Always check the label for the cannabidiol concentration and THC level before buying.

Buying CBD in Switzerland: the requirements
Be of legal age
That’s right! Just like in France, cannabidiol is prohibited from being sold to minors as a tobacco substitute. Tobacco shops or CBD shops in Switzerland will not make any exceptions to this rule.
A THC content of less than 1% in Swiss CBD
What is permitted is the CBD molecule. Traditional cannabis containing THC is prohibited from sale and purchase. Buying CBD in Switzerland therefore implies a THC content of less than 1%. As in the rest of Europe, cannabidiol is permitted as a non-psychoactive cannabinoid. THC, on the other hand, is a psychoactive molecule considered a narcotic; in other words: a drug!
To buy CBD in Switzerland, you must therefore be aware that it is absolutely illegal to purchase cannabis concentrated in THC.
Fortunately, the numerous checks and the law require producers to sell only legal cannabis with a low THC content.
Prohibited products
Unlike France, Switzerland is quite strict regarding which cannabidiol products are authorised for sale. Please be aware that CBD resins are prohibited from sale and purchase in Switzerland. You will therefore not find any CBD hashish on Swiss territory, although many resins made with Swiss cannabidiol are available in France. For more information, see our article on this subject.
However, you will find:
- CBD flowers
- Oils and capsules
- Food products (herbal teas, chocolate, honey…)
- Vapes and e-liquids
- Cosmetics
Buying Swiss CBD in France
Legal THC levels in Switzerland vs France
The legislation regarding CBD differs between Switzerland and France. It is therefore important that you exercise caution if you are buying your CBD from a Swiss website or directly from a shop in Switzerland. Otherwise, your order may be held up at customs. Worse still, you could face legal problems.
Swiss CBD may contain a much higher THC content than in France. The permitted THC level in Switzerland is 1%, compared to 0.2% in France. If you make a purchase from a CBD shop directly in Switzerland and plan to bring your purchases back to France, remember to check the product label, which states the cannabidiol concentration.
If you order from a Swiss CBD website, check the product description. We advise you to use reliable websites that are transparent about their THC levels. For example, on Sixty8, all products comply with French law with a THC level below 0.2%, even though the flowers are produced in Switzerland.

Legal age for purchasing CBD
Just as in Switzerland, it is illegal to buy or sell cannabidiol to minors! If you are not yet of age, please be patient a little longer!
Making an informed choice when buying CBD
Be discerning in your expectations. Swiss CBD is of very high quality, so it would be a shame to choose a Swiss seller who does not comply with current regulations regarding THC levels.
Similarly, look for Swiss cannabidiol websites that offer a wide range of products at competitive prices. At Sixty8, the CBD flowers are 100% organic and grown in a controlled environment that optimises flowering…!
