Cannabidiol (CBD) is a naturally occurring cannabinoid found in cannabis that is often used to treat pain and seizures. Unlike its chemical cousin, THC, CBD is a non-psychoactive compound: meaning that it has little effect on the mind in terms of consciousness and perception. This is what can make it appealing to people seeking relief from various illnesses. However, it is worth noting the difference between CBD Dominant and CBD Rich products. CBD Rich products can often carry an equal dosage of THC, or at least a significant amount. On the other hand, CBD Dominant products contain little to none THC contents, which make them optimal for potential treatment. Los Angeles CBD Attorney William Kroger is well versed in the legal nuances related to CBD and conflicting state and federal laws.
In September 2018, the DEA Administrator moved FDA-Approved CBD derived from Cannabis that contains less than 0.1% THC to Schedule V from Schedule I.
It is worth noting however, that few CBD products are FDA approved, or will attain FDA approval.
There is some concern that re-scheduling of CBD gives large pharmaceutical companies control over the CBD market since smaller companies often cannot afford the rigorous process of FDA-approval.
DEA Schedule I drugs are considered to have:
No medical use
High abuse potential
Lack of accepted safety
DEA Schedule V drugs are considered to have:
Some medical use
Low-abuse potential
Safe in specific doses
The Farm Act holds that entities may have the right to grow Hemp.
The 2014 farm bill held that states could ––in conjunction with institutions of higher education–– research and grow hemp if those states had legalized hemp production.
CBD can also be derived from hemp.
California voters enacted Prop 64 in November 2017.
Prop 64 is renowned for recreationally legalizing marijuana, but it also holds implications for CBD and Hemp.
Specifically, Prop 64 allows for the legal production of industrial hemp in the State of California.
Given that CBD can be hemp-derived, Prop 64 is interpreted by many to have legalized the production of CBD.
If you manufacture, distribute, or possess CBD, you still may face drug possession or trafficking charges under federal law.
