This ban had been challenged by several companies that market CBD. “The interim judge of the Council of State considers that there is a serious doubt about the legality of this general and absolute prohibition measure because of its disproportionate nature”, specifies the communiqué of the Council of State. However, this is a simple suspension, pending the examination on the merits of the contested decree.
