With hemp now legal in the country, placing some rules and regulations around the industry would be needed. Here comes the FDA
Per CNBC
FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb said that the organization is beginning the process of creating a regulatory framework for the marketing and interstate sales of CBD products, according to a CNBC report.
President Trump’s signature on the 2018 Farm Bill last week technically legalized industrial hemp and hemp products. The bill, however, placed CBD products under the FDA’s jurisdiction.
The FDA plans to hold public meetings soon seeking input on how best to establish the federal CBD marketplace.
“While products containing cannabis and cannabis-derived compounds remain subject to the FDA’s authorities and requirements,” Gottlieb said, “the FDA will continue to take steps to make the pathways for the lawful marketing of these products more efficient.”
With the FDA at work, expect a lot of gas station CBD products leaving shelves shortly.
