Formal status

Cannabis is illegal in Denmark and possession draws a criminal fine, starting at 2,000 kroner for under ten grams. Growing your own is prosecuted the same way, with no personal-use exemption, and the long-tolerated Christiania hash market closed in 2024. Medical cannabis became a permanent scheme on 1 January 2026. Danish food guidance caps a supplement's daily dose at 80 micrograms of THC.

Do we sell here?

Yes, for now: Sleep spray, Sleep capsules.

Yes, we ship to Denmark.

Denmark's approach to THC is more nuanced than most. For narcotics purposes it treats hemp preparations containing no more than 0.2 per cent THC as outside its controlled substances rules altogether, which is more accommodating than Sweden or Finland, neither of which permits any level at all. Separately, its food authority has set guideline limits for THC in food supplements expressed as micrograms per daily dose rather than as a percentage, applied to the finished product.

Every batch we sell is third-party tested and the results published, and our tested THC content sits comfortably below 0.2 per cent. We do not sell a batch that does not clear our own release testing, which is the gate that matters before any national threshold does.

Outlook

The point to watch is the current standing of the 2018 food supplement action limits. They were applied as live in 2023, but the food authority's published page on THC still sets out only its hemp tea and hemp seed limits and the EU figures for hemp seed, without restating the supplement figure. The likeliest explanation is structural rather than substantive, since a cannabinoid supplement is an unauthorised novel food and so has no lawful population for an action limit to govern. We have not been able to confirm that, and we treat the point as open rather than resolved in our favour.

We do not expect the narcotics threshold to move. It has been in place since 2018, the March 2026 consolidation of the euphoriant substances order left it untouched, and Denmark's neighbours have expressly declined to copy it.

Fødevarestyrelsen sets guideline action limits for tetrahydrocannabinol in foods made from industrial hemp. The recommended daily dose of a food supplement may contain at most 80 micrograms THC and at most 200 micrograms total THC, and the limits are expressly to be understood at finished-product level rather than at ingredient level.

DTU Fødevareinstituttet assesses five 10 ml CBD oils for Fødevarestyrelsen following a European rapid-alert notification, and finds that all five present a health risk to consumers if taken orally at the dosing the company describes, because the resulting THC intake exceeds the national guideline action limits for food supplements.
