The short answer
CBD is legal in Slovenia when derived from EU-approved industrial hemp varieties containing no more than 0.3% THC. The Public Agency for Medicinal Products and Medical Devices of the Republic of Slovenia (JAZMP) regulates products with medicinal claims, while the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Food oversees agricultural hemp.
CBD oils, cosmetics, and topicals sell openly in pharmacies, health food stores, and online. Food-grade CBD must comply with the EU Novel Food Regulation (EU) 2015/2283, and JAZMP enforces the prohibition on unauthorized health claims. Slovenia aligns with European Commission rulings, including the 2020 Kanavape decision, which confirmed that CBD is not a narcotic.
The 0.3% THC threshold tracks Regulation (EU) 2021/2115 on Common Agricultural Policy strategic plans. Products exceeding this limit fall under the ZPPPD and are treated as marijuana. Epidyolex is reimbursed through the Health Insurance Institute (ZZZS) for refractory epilepsies.

CBD products move freely within the EU single market under mutual recognition.

THC content above 0.3% triggers narcotic-import controls under the ZPPPD.
