CBD was removed from Israel's Dangerous Drugs Ordinance in March 2022 following a Ministry of Health and Knesset Health Committee decision, reclassifying it from a controlled substance to a regulated consumer ingredient. Pure CBD products containing no detectable THC (or trace levels below 0.3%) may be sold legally in Israel as supplements, cosmetics, and topicals without a prescription, provided they meet Ministry of Health labeling and quality standards.
CBD-containing pharmaceutical products (such as Epidiolex for refractory epilepsy) and CBD-dominant medical cannabis preparations remain under IMCA prescription oversight when THC content exceeds the trace threshold. Marketing health claims for non-pharmaceutical CBD products is restricted under Ministry of Health consumer protection rules.

Trace THC only; pharmaceutical CBD products with measurable THC require IMCA oversight
Dangerous Drugs Ordinance amendment (March 2022 removal of CBD from controlled substances list)
Following the 2022 reclassification, CBD products with no detectable THC can be imported and exported as regulated consumer goods rather than narcotics, subject to standard Ministry of Health and Customs Authority approvals. CBD-isolate and broad-spectrum products from hemp source material face simplified clearance. Full-spectrum CBD products containing measurable THC remain under IMCA's medical cannabis import-export licensing framework.
