There’s been a CBD boom in America over the last few years, ever since the passage of the 2018 U.S. Farm Bill. The Farm Bill included all sorts of provisions unrelated to cannabidiol (the full name for CBD). But the parts of the bill that really mattered to the cannabis community – and to consumers around the country – legalized the cultivation of hemp, as well as the transportation and sale of CBD products containing less than 0.3% psychoactive THC. In simpler terms, it legalized CBD derived from the hemp plant, since hemp normally contains only a trace amount of …

Iowa has been late to the CBD party. The sale and use of cannabidiol (the full name for CBD) were legalized in 2018 at the federal level. But several states, including Iowa, were holdouts. CBD was only made available to a limited number of medical users, in a system similar to the medical marijuana setup many states have had for years. A new state law finalized in mid-2020 has changed the CBD landscape in Iowa, and CBD stores have been opening rapidly across the state. However, a number of CBD restrictions still remain in place, leaving residents, vendors and farmers …

America has thrived for nearly 250 years with a sometimes-unwieldy patchwork system of regulations and laws. There are federal laws, of course, but there are also 50 sets of state laws. And sometimes they conflict. That’s painfully obvious when you try to figure out the legal status of marijuana in the United States: illegal at the federal level, legal for recreational purposes in some states, and approved for medical patients in others. Cannabidiol (the full name for CBD) is another good example. For years, it existed in a legal gray area, technically forbidden but widely available at the retail level. …

Just because the federal government says something is legal or illegal, that’s not always the end of the story. States have a say in the matter, too. For example, the feds say that pot is illegal. Period. Don’t tell that the people who live in well over a dozen states where recreational weed use is permitted by state law, or those in about three dozen states where medical marijuana is legal. So when the U.S. government passed the Farm Bill in late 2018, which basically made the sale and use of CBD products legal, it wasn’t the end of the …

Nebraskans are used to being behind the national curve when it comes to legalization movements in America. Marijuana, gay marriage, abortion – Nebraska is never at the forefront of social change. Needless to say, many people like it that way. Nebraska is a solidly red state, and conservative values predominate among the majority of voters. And in an evenly-divided nation, Cornhuskers are far from alone. That can make things difficult at times, though. It’s particularly difficult when potential medical breakthroughs intersect with traditional beliefs. The first issue we mentioned, marijuana, is a perfect example. How do you balance a long-standing …

When you think of states in the deep South, “legalization” usually isn’t the first word that comes to mind. All bets are off when it comes to CBD, however. When the federal government approved the 2018 Farm Bill, it essentially legalized the nationwide sale and use of cannabidiol products (CBD’s full name is cannabidiol). A few states have refused to go along with the bill’s provisions, making it difficult for their residents to get a handle on exactly what is and isn’t legal. Alabama isn’t one of those states. It had actually embraced CBD as the cornerstone of its extremely-limited …

By the way that most Americans think of Vermont – the home of Bernie Sanders, Ben, and Jerry, and old hippies who headed north from New York many years ago – you might imagine that you could find CBD (and pot) on the shelves of every drug store, department store and McDonald’s. In truth, when it comes to cannabis, Vermont isn’t quite as progressive as the stereotypes could lead you to believe. Yes, CBD and weed are both legal in the state. But it wasn’t that long ago that there was a very different legal landscape in Vermont. It was …

In Louisiana, like most states, the sale of CBD oil and other products was unregulated before the passage of the U.S. Farm Bill in 2018. CBD was technically illegal before then, and stores risked being raided (or worse) if they sold the products. Many did anyway because customers wanted them and the money was good. The Farm Bill finally set some rules, making it legal in America to sell and use CBD sourced from the hemp plant, as long as it had less than 0.3% THC content. Most states began implementing the terms of the federal legislation with their own …
