General questions about CBD
CBD or cannabidiol is a component of the female cannabis plant which – unlike the far better-known active ingredient THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) – is not psychoactive and therefore does not have an intoxicating effect.
There is trustworthy information about CBD on the internet or in books, and we are also happy to recommend doctors who are familiar with CBD. Many of our customers report, among other things, increased well-being, inner balance and the relief of chronic complaints.
CBD cannabis is increasingly becoming the focus of research, medicine and the media. According to the World Health Organization, the following properties have been scientifically investigated:
– Analgesic
– Anti-inflammatory
– Anxiolytic and antidepressant
– Antispasmodic
– Neuroprotective
– Antioxidant
– Antipsychotic

The WHO attests that CBD has a very good safety profile and no potential for dependence. It is being successfully investigated in research for withdrawal from other addictions. We have summarised what this means exactly for you in this blog post: Is CBD dangerous?
This limit is set by the legislator. In Austria and Germany, products with a THC content of 0.3% are legal. You will find a certificate of analysis for each of our products. This is how we guarantee the legality & safety of our products. You can also find more information on the subject here: Why we don’t sell flowers with an excessively high CBD content
Our CBD flowers are grown carefully with lots of love, water and light in our own production facility and on our certified organic fields in Lower Austria. We also work with Austrian organic hemp farmers. You can take a little look behind the scenes here: Harvest festival at MAGU CBD.
CBD acts on the body’s own endocannabinoid system. How you take CBD depends on the product. Among other things, CBD can be taken as drops, applied to the skin or drunk as tea. You will find the recommended use for each of our products either on the packaging or in the product description in the online shop. If you have any questions, we will advise you in our shops or by email at: info@magu-cbd.com!
Due to the current legal situation, we are not allowed to talk about the effects of our products. Fortunately, we have a very large and active community that talks about how CBD can help in reviews and on social media. Just take a look at our channels or our blog. If you have further questions, we are also happy to recommend doctors who work with CBD.
CBD, like other cannabinoids contained in the hemp flower, activates the body’s own endocannabinoid system. This complex physiological signalling system is part of our nervous system and helps us to keep our body in a healthy balance. Movement, mood, perception and motivation are controlled here. With CBD, regularity and sometimes a little patience are required. It is important that you give yourselves time – the endocannabinoid system needs 2-3 weeks to activate.
Put simply: the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Our CBD oils and the Full Spectrum CBDeus line are full spectrum products, which means that they contain all the valuable ingredients of the hemp plant. Through the interplay of the individual components, the maximum potential of the cannabinoids unfolds – unlike pure CBD substance – which science calls the “entourage effect”. You can find more details here: The entourage effect.
Fortunately, there is now a great deal of information about CBD online and in non-fiction books. With our newsletter you get up-to-date information straight to your inbox once a month. We also keep you up to date on our blog and on our social media channels. Take a look!
Unfortunately, we are not allowed to talk about the effects of our products, as the legal situation prohibits it. But we are happy to give you a list of doctors in Vienna who are familiar with CBD and may be able to recommend something. Just write to us on social media or at info@magu-cbd.com.
There are (as yet) no studies on CBD during pregnancy or breastfeeding, which is why we do not currently recommend it. Here, too, we would recommend that you consult doctors.
Yes, animals may consume CBD. Whether dogs, cats, rodents or even horses. Our furry friends also benefit from the effect of CBD. You will find information about each product directly on the product detail pages.
Most of our products are approved as oral cosmetics or food supplements and are therefore suitable for all ages. Many of our customers report how their children benefit from CBD. Whether and from when you want to consume CBD is a very personal decision that everyone should make for themselves.

Yes, our products are already available in selected pharmacies. The best thing is to go to the pharmacy you trust and ask for our products; they can order the products immediately. Small tip: it’s best to call ahead, then they will order it and you can pick it up as soon as it arrives.
With the new legal situation that came into force at the end of January 2025, there are important changes to the sale of CBD flowers in Austria. The Verwaltungsgerichtshof has ruled that CBD flowers with a THC content below 0.3 % are classified as “herbal smoking products”. This means they are subject to the Tabakmonopolgesetz and may only be sold in licensed Trafiken.
For you as consumers, this means:
✅ The possession and consumption of CBD flowers with less than 0.3 % THC remains legal.
✅ However, they must be purchased from state-licensed Trafiken. In addition to VAT of 20%, a tobacco tax of 34 % is charged.
✅ Our high-quality CBD products such as oils, cosmetics and aroma products are still legally available from us.
In principle, you can also find our products on other sales platforms or in other shops. Of course, we are happiest when you buy directly in our shops or in our online shop .

In Germany, cannabis has been legalised under certain controlled conditions since 01 April 2024. The German federal government has enabled the controlled supply of cannabis to adults for recreational purposes. You can find the current status and developments here.
In Germany, possession of up to 50 grams, cultivation of 3 plants and consumption of THC are generally legal. You can find details in the Cannabisgesetz: CanG
It is important to note that the THC content may vary from country to country. The values mentioned apply specifically to Austria and Germany. It is advisable to check the current legal provisions of the respective country, as these can change.
In Germany, the legally permitted THC content of hemp products is 0.3%. As long as a product does not exceed this limit, it is considered legal.
In Austria, the legally permitted THC content of hemp products is limited to 0.3%. This means that products that do not exceed this limit are legal.
THC stands for tetrahydrocannabinol and is a chemical compound found in the hemp plant. It is the main active ingredient responsible for psychoactive effects.
H4-CBD is short for hexahydrocannabidiol. The cannabinoid was first synthesised in 1940 and is hydrogenated CBD. H4-CBD is said to be 100 times stronger than CBD. You can find even more information about H4-CBD in this blog article: What is H4-CBD?
