The CBD craze is officially coming to Mexico.
The country’s Federal Commission for Protection Against Sanitary Risks (their version of the US Food and Drug Administration) last week approved 38 products containing the popular, nonintoxicating cannabinoid. Products including gummies, capsules, topicals, and even an infused energy drink will soon be available to consumers and medical patients, with no prescription necessary.

How to Find the Best CBD Cannabis Product for You
Seven companies have so far been approved to sell CBD oils, topicals, capsules, and infused foods and beverages: Finat México, Farmacias Magistrales (Master Farmacies), Acietes Orgánicos de América (Organic Oils of America), Med Mex, CBD Science, Endo Natura, and CBD Life. Four of those companies are based in Mexico, two are from the United States, and one is from Spain.
The approved products aren’t aimed at producing a classic cannabis high. THC levels are required to be less than 1%. For now, only a single company in Mexico, Farmacias Magistrales, is allowed to import raw materials to produce medical cannabis products that contain THC. Those products will be available only to patients with a prescription.
