Is CBD oil legal? How the 2018 Farm Bill Changes the Accessibility of CBD products

    by Stacy Pershall January 04, 2019

CBD oil is massively popular, and when you look at the anecdotal evidence, it's easy to see why. A quick Google search reveals myriad testimonials about the physical and mental illnesses it can treat or cure, from anxiety to cancer. Although no medication is a cure-all, there's empirical evidence to back up CBD's effectiveness in alleviating symptoms such as inflammation, nausea, and insomnia. But is it even legal?

    The FDA will now oversee CBD; to what extent is yet to be determined.

CBD, short for cannabidiol, is one of the two main cannabinoids in the cannabis plant; the other is THC, or tetrahydrocannabinol.   The latter is the one that gets you high, and it's why cannabis remains federally illegal. However, you can buy CBD-oil vape cartridges at smoke shops, CBD gummies at gas stations, and CBD-infused treats at pet stores.

"With the recent passing of the [2018] Farm Bill, hemp-derived CBD was removed from the Controlled Substances Act and officially made legal nationwide," says Elle Welch, Marketing and Communications Manager of Mary's Medicinals, a manufacturer of hemp- and cannabis-derived topicals. "Prior to this, companies were operating under and complying to an industrial hemp pilot program."
