Maker’s statement. I make every product myself, on the territory of the Slovak Republic, in line with hygiene standards and the requirements for food supplements, while keeping food-grade quality. I make them from the leaves and seed oil of hemp, which the relevant decree classifies as food. Even so, the authorities do not allow me to speak of them as food or to state a dosage. I therefore designate hemp drops, capsules and oil extracts as botanical collector’s items and I may not encourage internal use.
Everyone, however, has the right of free access to treatment and to the choice of a method of treatment. I am actively working on a proposed amendment to the law governing the hemp sector in Slovakia.
What you take is your own choice.
Why this document exists
Slovak legislation currently has no category for hemp oil extracts that matches what they actually are. A decree recognises hemp leaf and seed as food; the authority at the same time will not allow an extract made from them to be called food, nor to state how much of it to take. A gap opens up — and this text describes how I move within it, so that it is clear to everyone what they are buying and what they are reading.
It is not a defence. It is a map.
The nature of the content on this site
A literary and journalistic form
Every text, image or video on this site is a cultural and informational work — by analogy with a published book. As such it is protected by Article 26 of the Constitution of the Slovak Republic and Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights.
This is not professional advice
No passage here provides legal, medical, veterinary, psychological or economic advice. For any decision concerning health, turn to a qualified professional.
Autobiographical passages
The descriptions of amounts, lived experience and subjective reflection you will find in the product pages are the author’s diary records — documentation of how I work with these substances myself. They are not instructions for third parties and they are not recommendations. That is why you will never find a dosage for you on the product pages, only my own experience.
The legal category of the products
Collector’s items, not food or medicine
All oils, extracts, drops and capsules are placed on the market as botanical collector’s items and products for further processing — never as food, food supplements or medicines.
THC content
The products contain only naturally occurring Δ9-THC at a maximum of 0.2 %, which is well below the 0.3 % limit under Regulation (EU) 2021/2115 and § 19 of Act No 285/2022 Coll. The hemp varieties used are part of the EU Common Catalogue of permitted varieties.
No handling of narcotic substances
Since Δ9-THC is present in the products only in a natural, low concentration and not as an isolate, neither the making nor the distribution falls under § 11 of Act No 67/2010 Coll.
Information versus advertising
Passages describing the aroma, colour or synergistic profile of a product pursue an artistic and educational intent — not encouragement to use a psychotropic substance.
In line with Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006 and EFSA guidance, any mention of the possible action of cannabinoids is presented as a scientific hypothesis or a user observation, not as a normative recommendation.
Criminal-law aspects
§ 174 of the Criminal Code — spreading drug dependence. I expressly do not call for internal or inhaled use. If you nonetheless proceed to an experiment of your own, you act of your own will and at your own risk.
§§ 171–173 — unlawful production and trade. In terms of THC content the products are below the limit and follow on from Decree No 309/2015 Coll., which admits hemp leaf and seed as food. Distribution of an oil extract as material for further processing meets the criterion of § 6(4) of Act No 67/2010 Coll.
Act No 147/2001 Coll. on advertising. Since the products are offered neither as food nor as medicinal products, the provision on advertising medicines containing psychotropic substances does not apply.
Administrative regulation
Novel food
Oil extracts from leaves and seeds belong among botanical extracts that may not be sold for consumption without official notification. Because I expressly do not designate them for oral use, there is no breach of Regulation (EU) 2015/2283.
How and where I make it
I do not operate a production plant. I closed my fixed production premises on 1 August 2025 and since then I have made everything the way the craft was always done — with my own hands and my own tools.
The stainless steel boards, vessels, press and the rest of the equipment are mine and I carry them with me. To make a batch I need a room with water, a work surface and electricity; I rent the space as needed, do my work there and leave. The raw materials and the tools travel with me.
This is traditional craft production in the original sense of the word: maceration, pressing oil from seeds, oil and alcohol extraction from leaves. No line, no hall, no technology that has to stand permanently anywhere. The image of a factory does not belong here — the image of a craftsman who brings his tools, does the work and tidies up after himself does.
I vouch for the quality personally. Not with the stamp of a facility, but by the fact that I make every product myself and use it myself as well.
The principle of personal freedom
Article 40 of the Constitution of the Slovak Republic guarantees everyone the right to the protection of health, including the choice of a method of treatment. I only pass on information, thereby fulfilling the right of access to information under Article 26.
If someone experiences working with hemp as part of a spiritual practice, they are protected by Article 24 of the Constitution and Article 9 of the European Convention — provided they observe public order and the applicable limits.
Resolving disputes
Out-of-court first. If anyone — a state authority, a natural or legal person — considers a statement on this site unlawful, I invite them first to an informal written notification and a joint correction. It saves both sides time.
Jurisdiction. In disputes with businesses and authorities the District Court in Žilina has jurisdiction, subsidiarily the Regional Court in Žilina. This does not apply to consumers: a consumer from a member state of the European Union has the right under Regulation (EU) No 1215/2012 to bring claims before the court of their own domicile and may be sued only there. No clause can take that right away, and I do not attempt to.
In the event of interference with freedom of expression I reserve the right to turn to the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg.
