Determining if Cbd Oil laws in your state can be very difficult. There is a lot of confusion and conjecture when it comes to this product. CBD oil is often confused with medical marijuana and this can lead to many believing it is outlawed in non-medical marijuana states.

At this time, according to legal terminology defining CBD oil as a low THC oil created from the cannabis plant is legal in 44 states. Of these 44 states, 18 states regulate the dispensing of low THC oils through medical pharmacies. No other sales are permitted. Only 6 states have laws preventing the sale of any type of CBD oil which are: Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota, and West Virginia.

What About Hemp Produced CBD Oil?

CBD oil produced from hemp under the guidelines of Section 7606 of the Farm Bill is much different than CBD oil produced from medical marijuana and then diluted to bring THC levels down to meet federal guidelines. CBD oil produced from industrial hemp is virtually THC free naturally and the oil produced from these plants does not have to be diluted.

Since CBD oil produced from industrial hemp is different from oils produced from medical grade marijuana, the question of if the product is legal or not can become difficult to answer. After all, hemp oil and hemp products have been available in health food stores for many years without issue. So an additional product made from this same plant in compliance with all federal laws and regulations should also be legal, right?

The answer is still: maybe. It really depends on who you ask and how knowledgeable they are and what their position is on medical marijuana. People who are against medical marijuana are often automatically against CBD oil, even if it is derived from hemp. Their lack of knowledge on the difference makes it impossible for them to distinguish between the two.

The DEA, for instance, seems to be in this category. Earlier in the year, they added CBD oil to their list of controlled substances. While this move was not authorized by Congress, who is the only governing body that can change federal laws, it also did not take into account the Industrial Hemp Farm Bill legislation which allows hemp based products to be produced and used in the United States.

Continuing Changes In CBD Laws

For those who wish to offer CBD products, it is very important that you continue to monitor the progress of laws in your area and on the federal level. As knowledge spreads about this product and how different it actually is from marijuana, more states will begin to allow people to take advantage of the many health benefits associated with CBD.

CBD oil is changing the way people look at hemp oil. CBD oil is the emerging product of the new century. Hemp oil is no longer a stepchild of the cannabis family, thanks to the interest in CBD.

CBD oil research studies show a steady rise in understanding when it comes to CBD oil investments and CBD oil retail growth. CBD oil investments in 2017 have already surprised members of the Hemp Industries Association, but this group is not the only group that is in disbelief. Cannabis sales will increase by more than 25% this year, and that trend will continue through 2021, according to the ArcView Group. Most of the growth will come from the interest in CBD oil.
