While the use of CBD products has been completely legal in the UK for quite some time, the team at Aztec CBD is urging their clients to familiarize themselves with the drug laws in other countries before stepping onto foreign soil. This warning comes amidst the media storm that is once again gaining momentum with the case of Kensington’s Billy Hood. Local authorities in Dubai arrested the 25-year-old football coach in January this year for having four small bottles of CBD oil and a vaping pen in his car. While Hood explained to the authorities that it belonged to a friend who forgot it in his car two weeks prior, they still charged him with drug trafficking.

Hood’s initial sentence was 25 years in prison and has been reduced now to 10 years while he already spent most of this year behind bars as well. This all took place after these authorities forced him to sign a statement in the local language and his request to have a translator has been declined. This is very harsh punishment and a situation that leaves Hood and his family in desperation.

It is why the Aztec CBD team reminds their loyal clients that while ...
... their products are all CBD productsand as it contains no traces of THC, it is legal to have in the UK. However, this is not the case for all CBD products and some do contain traces of THC, the active ingredient in marijuana products that causes you to have a high. It is due to the minimal presence of THC traces in some CBD products that countries prohibit the possession of CBD products. That is what happened to Hood in Dubai as well. The authorities arrested himbased on the country’s strict drug laws.

As it appears that most of the charges against Hood are the result of certain assumptions about the products they found in his car and there is no certainty whether there have been any tests done to determine what the levels of CBD and THC in these bottles were. The situation reflects the brutal force in which some governments react towards any products derived from the cannabis plant.

It is why the team is also more than willing to ship their products to any country in the world, but they do require their clients to confirm what the local legislation regarding CBD products are so that they can be sure that by shipping these products, nobody would be breaking the law.
Furthermore, the Aztec CBD team also states that it is important to know the difference between products that are high in the levels of CBD and the ones that contain THC. The raw plant base for THC products is the marijuana plant while manufacturers of CBD products use the hemp plant as the foundation of their products. While both these plant species belong to the cannabis plant group, hemp is naturally high in CBD and low in THC while marijuana is high in THC. In the products that the team at Aztec CBD sells, such as their CBD oil for vaping, there are no traces of THC and that is why their CBD oil for vaping is legal in the UK. Yet, this doesn't mean the same is true for their international clients and it will most definitely also not be the same for those who purchased their products legally in the UK and then traveled with them abroad to a country where these items are illegal.

The best would be to check your facts and an even more secure approach to travelling would be to leave your CBD oil in the UK. This way you can be sure not to have to ever face the dramatic circumstances that are now the life of Billy Hood and his family.
