In this article we review CBD Snus vs Hemp Snus. The Swedish market for legal cannabis products is growing rapidly and today offers more options than ever. Among the most popular new products are CBD snus and hemp snus - two products that at first glance may seem quite similar, but are in fact quite different.
Quote from a customer:
”Many people consider hemp snus a better option for those who want a product with more natural components and a more ”authentic” feel. It's a bit like the difference between drinking orange juice concentrate and squeezing a fresh orange - both taste like oranges, but one is more complete.”
CBD Snus
CBD snus is a nicotine-free snus where the prills themselves are enriched with CBD isolate - a pure form of the cannabinoid cannabidiol. The isolate is extracted from industrial hemp and contains only CBD, nothing else from the plant.
Typical properties of CBD snus:
- Enriched with pure CBD in isolate form.
- Exact dosage of CBD per pill.
- Often flavored (mint, citrus, berries, etc.).
- Nicotine-free.
- Easy to dose and control.
Advantages: You know exactly how much CBD you're getting in each pill and can choose the strength according to preference.
Disadvantages: You miss out on other substances in hemp, such as natural terpenes, flavonoids and other cannabinoids. CBD Snus is also not approved for human consumption in Sweden and may not be sold by Swedish companies.
Hemp Snus
Hemp snus is made from hemp seeds - and thus contains the entire natural plant profile of the plant. Here we are talking about a broader spectrum of substances such as vitamins, fibers, terpenes and flavonoids that are naturally present in hemp seeds.
Important to know:
Hemp snus does not contain THC above the permitted level (0.0 % in finished product).
Contrary to popular belief, there is not just one ”raw” hemp flavor - today, hemp snuff manufacturers offer different flavors, such as mint, licorice, citrus or berry.
Because it's not an isolate, you get all the natural substances from the plant, which many people appreciate for the more authentic experience.
Advantages: More complete product that preserves the whole plant profile of hemp. Flavor variants are available for those who want to vary the experience.
Extract vs whole plant - the main difference
If we boil down the difference, it becomes clear:
CBD snus: CBD isolate + other filler material. Cannabidiol only, no other plant substances.
Hemp snuff: Hemp seeds. Contains natural substances found in hemp (except THC).
Flavor profile - more variety than you think
A common misconception is that hemp snus only tastes strong and earthy. Sure, there are natural varieties that preserve the full flavor of the plant, but today many brands offer a wide range of flavors:
Hemp snuff flavors: Mint, licorice, citrus, tropical fruit, berries and natural.
CBD snus flavors: Often similar range - mint, fruit, berries - but the taste is usually ”purer” as the isolate does not contribute any plant flavor.
Buy Hemp Snus from Sweden
At present, there is only one hemp snus in the whole world - yes, you read that right, the WHOLE WORLD. And of course, this unique snus is created in the country that put snus on the map: Sweden.
Behind the innovation is DR. Herbals, a Swedish company based in Västra Götaland. As pioneers in legal cannabis, they have developed the world's first hemp snus from scratch. Each product is made entirely in Sweden, with full control over the entire process - from raw material to finished can.
This distinguishes DR. Herbals from many other players in the market, where products are often manufactured abroad or purchased ready-made. Here, it is instead quality, transparency and Swedish craftsmanship that apply.

Legality in Sweden
CBD snus is currently not legal for Swedish companies to sell. The reason is that CBD is not a food-approved substance in Sweden. For a snus to be sold as food, all ingredients must be approved under the Food Act.
Hemp pouches, on the other hand, can be sold completely legal in Sweden as long as the THC content of the finished product is 0.0 %. At DR. Herbals, all hemp snus products are made in Sweden, from EU-approved industrial hemp, and undergo rigorous laboratory testing before reaching the customer.
This means that you can feel completely confident that each product meets both Swedish food requirements and current legislation.
Price and value
CBD snus: Often costs more because the manufacturing process of isolates is more advanced.
Hemp snuff: Tends to be cheaper, but provides more of the plant's natural substances per crown.
Here you can decide for yourself whether you prioritize a precise dose of CBD or a more complete plant profile.
Delivery and availability
When you order from Swedish companies like DR. Herbals you get fast delivery:
Order before 12:00 → the package will be sent the same day.
Next business day delivery to Stockholm, Gothenburg, Malmö and the rest of Sweden.
What's more, delivery is discreet and the contents are not visible on the package.
