Who would have guessed that California, of all places, would have some of the strictest CBD laws in the country? 😵‍💫 Starting July 1st, it will be illegal to ship full spectrum CBD to California. These products will only be legally sold to purchase in cannabis dispensaries… if they stock them.

I am so discouraged and disappointed. The Vermont legislature just voted to redefine full spectrum CBD products as “regulated cannabis products” (AKA marijuana). This means that they will only be available in cannabis dispensaries.

Will broad spectrum CBD distillate be readily available after the hemp ban takes effect in November? I know broad spectrum will be legal to sell, but i'm concerned that it will be impossible to legally manufacture due to the new THC limits on intermediates (concentrates used by manufacturers).

Is your CBD oil pale and almost tasteless? You don’t want this! Clear or pale CBD oil has been heavily processed to remove most of the beneficial compounds in the hemp flower. The hemp plant contains a multitude of biologically active compounds, most of which interact with the human body.

The hemp ban will classify full spectrum CBD as Schedule 1 drugs, more illegal than cocaine, fentanyl, and methamphetamine. Do our lawmakers really think CBD is more of a threat than addictive drugs that kill thousands of people every year?
