What is the Legal Status of CBD?
At the federal level, the government passed the 2018 Farm Bill which legalized hemp-derived CBD, which is defined as any CBD that contains less than 0.3% THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), unlike most marijuana products.
In regards to CBD and hemp products, the 2018 Farm Bill did the following:
- Removed CBD and hemp’s low amount of THC from the list of substances in the Controlled Substances Act.
- Allows CBD to be regulated by the U.S. Department of Agriculture just like any other agricultural commodity.
- Permits CBD and hemp-based products to be introduced into interstate commerce.
- Permits the production of hemp plants in all 50 states for any use including CBD extraction.
CBD is currently legal in some form or another in all states but Idaho, Iowa, and South Dakota. However, some states do have restrictions on labeling and in what type of hemp-derived CBD products can be sold in.
Is it Legal to Ship CBD?
When it comes to CBD and marijuana products, there are a lot of regulations.
Is shipping CBD oil legal? Shipping regulations state that as long as the CBD being shipped contains less than 0.3% THC, then it can be shipped through the USPS. All other carriers do allow it as well, but may have different requirements on compliance and how it is handled through them.
