Nuremberg (dpa / lby) – The managing director of a trading company from Berlin has to answer to the Nuremberg district court from Tuesday because he is said to have sold illegal narcotics at a senior citizens’ fair in Nuremberg in 2019. Specifically, these are oils with the active ingredient CBD (cannabidiol) – such oils are used by users to treat pain and insomnia, among other things.
The oils are also said to have partly contained the active ingredient THC. THC is the chemical that induces the high in cannabis products. On average, marijuana sold on the black market contains about 10 percent THC. According to the public prosecutor, the THC content in the oils sold at the fair was up to almost two percent.
The products’ THC content puts them under the Narcotics Act, prosecutors argue. However, even products that do not contain THC fall under the Medicines Act and require a prescription. The main defendant told the “Hempjournal” that he considered the actions of the law enforcement agency to be disproportionate. In addition to the managing director of the trading company, an employee is also accused.
