Cannabis Oil (CBD) producers around the US have a headache. Recently, the
Food and Drug Administration concluded that CBD oil is not a dietary
supplement.
CDAPress
has written an amazing article that features subjects from all different sides
of the argument. Some say that because it is a hemp product, it’s legal. But
the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) disagrees, citing that any marijuana
product is a Schedule 1 drug regardless of THC concentration.
The FDA has warned producers that unapproved drugs cannot be
marketed with claims that have not been approved by them. They do recognize
that people experience benefits of CBD, but the laws would have to change for
it to be legal.
A spokesman for the DEA, Rusty Payne, noted that legislators
have the power to change the law to classify CBD as a medicine based on
scientific research.
