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 …

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 …

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 …

The recent history of CBD legalization in Tennessee is an odd one. Several years before cannabidiol (the full name for CBD) was legalized by the federal government, Tennessee had taken what appeared to be baby steps in the same direction. Once the national Farm Bill gave hemp-derived CBD the green light in 2018, it turned out that – at least in some ways – the Volunteer state was actually ahead of the curve. In any event, that somewhat-modern approach to cannabidiol has led to the widespread availability of CBD in Tennessee. Not only can you buy it at the dedicated …

It’s not easy to find CBD for sale in some states, even after the passage of the 2018 U.S. Farm Bill that essentially legalized the sale and use of CBD derived from hemp. In a few states, the situation is even worse; their governments have refused to go along with the federal government, and still consider cannabidiol (CBD’s longer name) to be illegal. Kentucky isn’t one of those states. The Bluegrass state certainly has a long and storied agricultural history, and it was once the nation’s leading tobacco-farming state (it’s now #2). But ever since settlers first arrived, Kentucky was …
