What are the differences between CBD oil and cannabis?
The active component of this oil, CBD or cannabidiol, is extracted from any of the varieties of cannabis that exist. However, the main difference between CBD oil and hemp oil is in the concentration of the active components.

In fact, the ratio is 1: 1, where the concentrations of THC and CBD are at 10% in both cases.
About the legal framework of CBD oil in Spain
Although it is true that the consumption of CBD oil has increased worldwide for the treatment of diseases such as psoriasis and multiple sclerosis, among others, in Spain there are still certain legal limitations to be overcome by the Spanish Agency for Medicines and Health Products (AEMPS), and the AECOSAN (Agency for Consumer Affairs, Food Safety and Nutrition), so that the oil is included in the "list of authorized food supplements" and that it can be distributed with the necessary regulation in the country.
At the moment, its commercialization within the Spanish territory is limited only to its cosmetic application or external use.
Can you start with CBD oil in Spain?
Yes, as long as it is in its cosmetic application. In this case, there is no legal or administrative obstacle in Spain to commercialize CBD. For this, it is essential that the product label read "For external use only".
Taking this into account, these are the most viable forms of entrepreneurship in Spain with CBD oil:
Factory of bottles and containers of topical medicines: it involves the production of containers that comply with the necessary regulations for the sale of CBD oil for external use. In fact, the component can be used to manufacture the containers themselves, as is done with the hemp plant, which is used to manufacture plastics.
Quality Control Inspector - This is about becoming a CBD oil tester to ensure the product meets minimum sanitation standards prior to market launch. You can work as a consultant for companies in the industry, helping in the inspection of all processes.
CBD Concentrate Extraction: This is certainly a big part of the CBD business, so it is a very good way to start in this sector. The extraction and sale of CBD concentrates can be offered to different pharmaceutical firms that use it as an active ingredient for the manufacture of products for the cosmetic industry.
