Age Verification Disclaimer

Last Updated: July 2025

At Bulk Weed UK, we take our legal obligations seriously. To comply with UK cannabis laws, PECR, and industry best practices, all users must confirm they are over 18 years of age to access, browse, or purchase from bulkweed.co.uk.

This page explains our age restriction policy, how verification is enforced, and why it’s crucial for staying compliant when offering wholesale THCA flower, hemp derivatives, and CBD extracts in the UK and beyond.

🔞 Who This Policy Applies To

You must be:

18 years or older to view or interact with any content on our site
A registered business or authorized wholesale buyer
In a jurisdiction where industrial hemp-derived THCA or cannabis extracts are lawful

If you do not meet these criteria, you are strictly prohibited from entering the site or initiating purchases.

📜 Why Age Verification Matters in Cannabis Commerce

Due to the legal status of THCA, cannabinoid flower, and related products under UK law (Misuse of Drugs Act 1971), it is mandatory to:

Restrict access to those over 18 years old
Prevent unintentional exposure to minors
Ensure all buyers are legally capable of entering a binding wholesale agreement
Uphold licensing integrity for cannabis B2B commerce in the UK and EU

This isn’t just policy — it’s compliance protection for both Bulk Weed UK and you as a buyer.

🔐 How Age Verification Works on bulkweed.co.uk

We enforce multiple levels of age verification, including:

1. Entry Gate / Age Confirmation Modal

Upon first visit, users must confirm:

“I am over 18 years old”
Optional: “I am a business customer or licensed entity”

This is tracked using cookies for 30 days.

2. Checkout Verification

During checkout, users must:

Confirm again they are 18+
Submit a business name and valid billing address
Acknowledge that products are not for consumer use

3. Manual KYC (High-Risk Orders or International Buyers)

We reserve the right to request:

Proof of business registration
Age verification via government-issued ID
Reseller license or VAT ID for wholesale verification

🧒 What Happens if You’re Under 18?

If you attempt to access our site or services as a minor:

Your access will be denied
Any registered account will be flagged and removed
Any placed orders will be voided and refunded (less fees)

We log IP addresses and reserve the right to block or blacklist violators permanently.

🔄 Age Verification on Repeat Visits

🌍 International Age Compliance

Although our business operates under UK law, we also take local age laws seriously when shipping internationally.

Canada: 19+ in most provinces
Germany & Netherlands: 18+
United States (no shipping): 21+ required for many cannabinoid products

If your local laws differ from UK standards, we will still enforce the strictest rule for all wholesale buyers.
