Detailed answer
Smoking CBD is expressly permitted because CBD < 1 % THC is not a controlled narcotic. Sellers need a tobacco-tax licence (Federal Customs Administration) and must prove THC content via laboratory. Because combustion produces harmful substances, health authorities recommend vaporisation. Note: the smell is indistinguishable from THC cannabis — always keep receipt and lab certificate on hand.
