If you have been searching for Cali carts in the UK, you have probably wondered about the legal situation. The answer depends entirely on what type of product you are buying.
What Are Cali Carts?
The term “Cali carts” originally referred to cannabis oil vape cartridges produced in California, where cannabis is fully legal for adult recreational use. The style became popular worldwide and the name stuck even outside California. In the UK, products sold under the Cali cart name vary — some retailers sell CBD-based or THCA hemp-derived products that are within legal parameters.
UK Cannabis Law in Brief
Under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971, cannabis (including THC) is a Class B controlled substance in the UK. However, hemp-derived products with very low THC content occupy a different legal space. CBD products derived from EU-approved hemp strains are legally sold across the UK, provided they contain no more than 1mg of controlled cannabinoids per container.
What Does The Cali Company Sell?
At The Cali Company, we stock a range of vape products including CBD vapes, hemp-derived THCA flower, and other legal cannabis-adjacent products. We encourage all customers to review product descriptions carefully and to understand the regulations in their area before purchasing.
