Summary

In Hong Kong, the possession, sale, and cultivation of marijuana have been illegal under the Dangerous Drug Ordinance since 1969. According to the Associated Press, a bottle of CBD-infused coffee at Found costs 80 Hong Kong dollars or USD$10. Meanwhile, a can of beer with added CBD is $70 Hong Kong dollars or USD$9. A cafe offering CBD-infused food and drinks opened in Hong Kong earlier this month, the city’s first as cannabis still remains taboo in most of Asia. Fiachra Mullen, the co-founder of the company that launched Found cafe, describes Hong Kong as one of Asia’s most “progressive cannabinoid markets.” “Unlike other parts of the region – Australia, New Zealand, Singapore – it’s actually quite a progressive cannabinoid law in Hong Kong, so we can sell most cannabinoids in Hong Kong as foods as long as we don’t have any THC in the products,” he claims.
