Swiss supermarkets will soon begin selling cannabis, but there's a catch

The Swiss supermarket chain LIDL will soon begin selling cannabis, but there's a catch. All of the products - which include smokable buds - have to contain less than 1 percent THC to comply with Switzerland's cannabis laws, writes Calvin Hughes.
Given those restrictions, the cannabis being sold at LIDL locations will be high in CBD, and will produce more of a relaxed feeling than the sense of euphoria that comes from consuming strains with large percentages of THC.
“The legally cultivable varieties contain only very small amounts of THC and a high proportion of CBD,” a LIDL spokesperson told the Irish website Buzz.
The low-THC products are similar to the 'cannabis light' phenomenon in Italy, where anything containing a small percent of THC is considered a legal hemp product rather than an illicit marijuana product.
And if you're bummed about the low-THC restriction, keep in mind that the myth that more THC is always better has already been busted by scientists.
