| CBD Flower | Illegal |
| THC Products | Illegal |
| CBN (natural) | Legal |

How to Buy CBD With Confidence.
CBD products legally sold in Japan are THC-free. We recommend buying from trusted stores that provide a Certificate of Analysis (CoA) to verify the product's quality and cannabinoid content.
What to Look For
→ Third-party lab test results (CoA)
→ 0% THC guarantee
→ Clear ingredient labeling
→ Reputable brand with a physical shop
In Japan, CBD is typically available as oils, vapes, gummies, and edibles. If you're visiting Tokyo, we recommend trying products at a physical shop like YANAGI where staff can guide you.
