Hemp and CBD Law
The 2018 Farm Bill changed federal policy regarding hemp, including the removal of hemp from the Controlled Substances Act and the consideration of hemp as an agricultural product. The bill legalized hemp under certain restrictions and defined hemp as the plant species Cannabis sativa L. with a delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) concentration of not more than 0.3 percent on a dry weight basis. Therefore, it is considered federally legal.
However, there are various state policies on the possession and purchasing hemp. Some states maintain that purchasing and possessing is hemp is 100% legal if it is 0.3% THC. However, some states are as strict on CBD and Hemp as if it was Marijuana. So, you must check your local laws and regulation before buying CBD and Hemp online and in stores.
Here is a map that shows the current legality across all 50 states: (maybe subject to change)
