Purchasing cannabidiol-based products such as CBD oils, creams, or flowers has become a trend in our country. On the internet, an enormous demand has developed for products made from legal cannabis, and many companies have focused on this market with strong growth potential.

The products driving this hemp boom are made with CBD, the medicinal compound of cannabis, and in practice lack the psychoactive component of marijuana, THC. For this reason, this range of cannabidiol-based products has found its niche in the Spanish market, and strong customer demand has done the rest.

The company Farma CBD emerged during the pandemic, amid the boom in buying cannabidiol in Spain. The company has managed to position a whole range of innovative products online, such as cannabidiol oils, creams, intimate lubricants, CBD flowers, and even cannabis suppositories.

Athletes, lawyers, entrepreneurs, homemakers, politicians, and even retirees—there is no class distinction among potential customers. Anyone can benefit from the properties of cannabidiol with just one click at their trusted online store.

And many more platforms and e-commerce businesses have emerged in our country in the wake of this new green boom. Who would have said ten years ago that customers would be demanding these kinds of products?

Cannabis has always had to coexist with a negative stigma, but thanks to its legalization in the United States and Canada, more and more people are becoming interested in its positive results and are seeking these types of products in Spain.

These products are no longer found only online, but also on the high street, as numerous shops have opened in major cities across the country, including Barcelona, selling this type of merchandise.

In Spain, although CBD flowers, concentrates, and oils can be purchased in these shops and grow stores, ‘light’ marijuana in its natural form is not yet regulated. Industrial hemp, however, is fully legal provided it contains less than 0.3% THC.

A new paradigm confirmed by statistics

The CIS has stated that 84% of Spaniards support the legalization of medical marijuana, and this figure represents an opportunity for a sector that would flourish under future regulation in Spain.

Various political parties on the national stage, such as Más País and Podemos, have already taken positions, and each formation has proposed different bills in the Congress of Deputies to regulate cannabis. These initiatives should be debated, but unfortunately they remain stalled in Parliament.

A shift in the international landscape

Other neighboring countries, such as Germany and Italy, have already taken the lead over Spain in legislative matters. Supporting the growth of cannabis-sector companies, encouraging technological development, and generating employment has become a strategic priority in some European countries.

Developing this high-demand sector could mean the creation of hundreds of thousands of jobs for different countries—jobs that, in the post-COVID era, are more valuable than ever.

Without a doubt, this debate has only just begun, and only the future will determine Spain’s position in a sector that, at the European level, is expected to generate around €174 billion in 2026.
