What is the Legal Status of CBD in the United States?

Hemp, which all legal CBD comes from, belongs to the “Cannabis Sativa Family Tree, which also includes the psychoactive plant known as “Marijuana.” For decades, Marijuana has been illegal throughout the United States. Although hemp is nonpsychoactive, it was also deemed illegal for many years due to its relation to Marijuana..

Hemp was recently removed from the Controlled Substances Act in 2018 under the “2018 Farm Bill.” The new version now legalizes the use of hemp. However, hemp isn’t exactly out of the woods yet. For hemp to maintain its “legal” status, it cannot have a detectable THC level over 0.3%. If Hemp is found to have a level above 0.3% than it
remains illegal and is considered a Schedule I drug once again.

But here’s where things get a little tricky.

Because cannabis is federally illegal, CBD sourced from cannabis is also federally illegal.
CBD sourced from hemp, on the other hand, is federally legal as long as its hemp source contains less than 0.3% THCas mentioned above.

If, for example, the CBD product you bought was sourced from hemp that has more than 0.3% THC level, then that product is federally illegal and is not considered a “hemp product.”

So choose your CBD product wisely. Know who the producer is and where they sourced their CBD. Look at the product label or, better yet, visit their website and look at the product’s laboratory testing result. If you have questions about their CBD product, then go ahead and give them a call or send them a message. A reputable CBD company will know their product very well and will be able to answer your inquiries knowledgably.
