CBD businesses raided as regulatory confusion reigns While the CBD market scrambles to prepare for the March Novel Foods deadline, products are being seized and retailers arrested in Ireland amid mass confusion over the law, with one retailer taking the authorities to court for their actions.
JP O’Brien is a health-focused entrepreneur who moved from Australia to Ireland with his wife and baby in 2018 to set up a small CBD cafe, Little Collins CBD Dispensary, with the hope of flourishing under EU regulations. But this has been far from the case.
His cafe has been raided on several occasions and his home raided once. He tells NutraIngredients his customers have even been threatened with arrest at their homes after gardaí (the national police service of the Republic of Ireland) intercepted his online orders.

“There is currently a contradiction in how the present laws are interpreted. One state body, such as the Health Products Regulatory Authority, states that trace amounts of THC can be permissible in CBD products that are sold, while customs authority go by the
Misuse of Drugs Act 1977, which holds THC in any amount as illegal,” Gino Kenny, who has campaigned for the legalization of medical cannabis, said in the statement.
“The Misuse of Drugs laws need to be amended so they synchronize with the regulations of CBD products as a food supplement,” Kenny continued.
“The legal system must keep up to date with the reality on the ground, CBD products are now well-known for providing medical relief to people with various ailments and does not produce psychotropic effects,” added Carlow councillor Adrienne Wallace.
