213 - Cannabis products

This group comprises cannabis viable seeds and vegetative plants; fresh and dried cannabis (buds and leaves); cannabis oil; other cannabis extracts and concentrates; cannabis-infused edible products; and other cannabis products n.e.c., for non-medical (recreational, wellness, lifestyle, spiritual, etc.) and medical uses. A plant of the genus Cannabis refers generally to three varieties which are cannabis Sativa, cannabis Indica and cannabis Ruderalis. Sativas and Indicas are the most commonly used cannabis strains for cultivation and propagation. The genetics of the different cannabis strains are widely mixed or cloned to create cannabis hybrids. Cannabis contains a number of active elements, including cannabinoids such as tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) or dronabinol, cannabidiol (CBD) and terpenes (aromatic compounds or chemical markers). Cannabis plants containing 0.3% w/w (weight for weight) of THC or less in the flowering tops and leaves - industrial hemp - and their derivatives with the THC concentration of 10 µg/g or less, as well as prescription drugs or pharmaceuticals containing cannabis, are excluded from this group.

• Exclusion(s)

  • medicinal chemicals and pharmaceutical preparations containing THC and/or CBD as ingredients (See 273 Pharmaceutical and medicinal products)
  • true hemp seeds and vegetable materials not aimed at producing intoxicating and hallucinogenic cannabis (0.3% w/w or less of THC) (See 115 Other crop products)

21313 - Cannabis products (except seeds, plants, and plant parts)

This class comprises cannabis oil and other solid and non-solid cannabis extracts and concentrates; cannabis-infused edibles; and other cannabis products n.e.c., made of cannabis bred to contain cannabinoids, in particular THC (more than 0.3% w/w) and cannabidiol (CBD), for non-medical (recreational, wellness, lifestyle, spiritual, etc.) and medical uses.

213132 - Cannabis extracts and concentrates (except oil)

This subclass comprises cannabis extracts and concentrates, except cannabis oil. Cannabis concentrates refer to derived extracts (solid and non-solid) containing concentrated amounts of the psychoactive compound tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), cannabidiol (CBD), and a multiplicity of other cannabinoids and terpenes. Cannabis solid and non-solid concentrates refer to substances that are in solid and non-solid forms at a room temperature of 22 +/- 2 degrees Celsius and that have a maximum yield percentage of greater than 3% w/w of THC, taking into account the potential to convert the delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCA) into THC. Their use can be non-medical or medical. Generally, there is a limit on the level of THC a product available for sale could contain.

• Exclusion(s)

  • cannabis oil (maximum yield percentage of 3% w/w or less of THC) (See 213131 Cannabis oil)

2131321 - Cannabis extracts and concentrates (except oil)

Their use can be non-medical or medical. Generally, there is a limit on the level of THC a product available for sale could contain.
