CBD Oil FAQs

Cannabis is a plant that contains hundreds of natural compounds. The best known are cannabinoids, terpenes and flavonoids. Among roughly eighty cannabinoids, four stand out: THC, CBD, CBG and CBN.

CBD, or cannabidiol, is just one of these molecules. Therefore, it is not the same as cannabis as a whole. On its own, CBD is non-intoxicating, has no narcotic action and does not cause physical dependence.

No. CBD is non-intoxicating. The "high" linked to cannabis comes from THC, a different compound. In Switzerland, THC is strictly limited by law.

The four found in meaningful amounts are THC (the intoxicating one), CBD (non-intoxicating), CBG (often called the "parent" cannabinoid) and CBN (which forms as the plant ages). To learn more, read our guide on what CBD is.

Most oils come with a graduated dropper. The classic method is to place the drops under the tongue, hold for a short moment, then swallow. For the full method, see our guide on how to dose CBD oil.

There is no single right amount. The common approach is to start low and go slow, adjusting gradually until you feel comfortable. Always follow the instructions on your product label.

It is mainly a question of routine. Some prefer the morning with breakfast, others the evening. Ultimately, the best time is the one you can keep consistent each day.

Oil is taken as drops under the tongue. E-liquids and pods are vaped with a device and dosed by puff. Inhalers offer a discreet, smoke-free option built around aromas. Each suits a different routine — browse our products to compare.

Keep it in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight and heat. Close the cap tightly after each use to preserve freshness and aroma.

Yes, within clear limits. A cannabis product is legal in Switzerland when its total average THC content stays below 1%. This is the highest threshold in Europe. Above 1%, the product is treated as a narcotic under the Federal Narcotics Act (LStup).

Yes, in small amounts. As long as the total average THC stays below the 1% Swiss limit, the product remains legal. Cannaliz products are formulated to comply with this rule.

Possibly. Legal products may still contain trace THC, which some tests detect. Importantly, driving under the influence of cannabis remains an offence in Switzerland, regardless of a product's legal status. When in doubt, be cautious.

Cannaliz ships discreetly to customers in many countries. However, CBD and THC laws differ widely from place to place. Therefore, it is your responsibility to check that the product is legal where you live before ordering.
