Hong Kong government is going to regulate CBD, and it will not be able to buy freely as before.

Source, South China Morning Post: Hong Kong has proposed banning CBD products within a year. Here’s everything you need to know

CBD products in Hong Kong

Whilst it is unclear how the CBD would be regulated, and how you can buy in Hong Kong in the future, Daily Hong Kong, an online news advertisment website in Hong Kong, posted contact photo of the CBD seller on the street and attracted attention.

This post from Daily Hong Kong was actually reporting the news that Chinese scientists found CBD can cure the damaged heart muscle, which giving hope for the people who got myocarditis after Covid19 injection.

Interestingly, while reporting this news, Daily Hong Kong included a photo of a street CBD seller taken from the street and attached to the post.

For the time being, you may find the CBD seller contact info from the photo taken by Daily Hong Kong which is included in the news post above.

Anyway, I am not sure what will happen in Hong Kong regards to the CBD products in the future, but will update in this post whenever there is a fixed plan announced.

Hong Kong medical students are supporting legalization of cannabis for medical use

 



International peer reviewed journal Complementary Therapies in Medicine published a research result from Li Ka Shing Faculty of Medicine, The University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong Special Administrative Region that the faculty medical students are supporting legalization of medical cannabis.


Highlights

  • Medical students in Hong Kong supported future legalization of cannabis for medical use despite perceiving more risks.
  • Female students perceived higher risks for cannabis than males.
  • Students who used cannabis before are more acceptable on using cannabis as treatments.
  • Stigmatizing views from Asian countries should be considered when medical cannabis is legalized in the future.
The research team analyzed a cross-sectional anonymous online survey which were sent from 1st December 2018 to 31st August 2020 to all medical students from the Li Ka Shing Faculty of Medicine, the University of Hong Kong (HKU).

Overall, students perceived cannabis possessed significant physical and mental health risks, but they were more neutral to its physical and mental benefits. They also supported legalizing cannabis more so for medical use than recreational use. Students were also more likely to recommend medical cannabis than non-licensed cannabis to patients if they were legally available.

Conclusion

Medical students in Hong Kong supported legalization of cannabis for medical use despite perceiving significant risks from cannabis use. Future research should investigate public acceptance on medical cannabis in Hong Kong and other Asian countries.

Hong Kong Tour Tips and News

Hong Kong is surely one of a great city in the world. However, recently it is losing the edge in the international society.

Why?

The biggest reason that Hong Kong is losing edge in the international society and suffering is because the government is strictly adhering to the 'zero covid' policy from the mainland government. Therefore, so many people are suffering right now.

Hong Kong people describes this 'zero covid' policy as "draconian" measures, whilst government is justifying it to tackle COVID19 outbreak.

(Reference: China’s Insistence on ‘Zero COVID’ in Hong Kong Has a Deeper Meaning)

Moreover, Hong Kong government is not allowing the COVID19 cure to the people.

In the mist of this, Daily Hong Kong, an online media based in Hong Kong, has illuminated a middle way to find a balance between zero and one.

Daily Hong Kong pointed that scientist have already proven that the old good cannabinoids are showing greater result in blocking COVID19 than any other antiviral drugs or vaccines.

Therefore, Daily Hong Kong suggested to legalize cannabis in Hong Kong as a test bed to find out whether the cannabinoids really work on humans for blocking SARS-CoV-2 and curing COVID19.
