CBD Poised for Boom After Farm Bill – Rolling Stone

My take:

CBD is a marijuana extract which is classified as a schedule-1 controlled substance by the United States Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Schedule-1 controlled substances are defined as "drugs with no currently accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse"

2018 - Schedules of Controlled Substances: Placement in Schedule V of Certain FDA-Approved Drugs Containing Cannabidiol; Corresponding Change to Permit Requirements

Statement from FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb, M.D., on signing of the Agriculture Improvement Act and the agency’s regulation of products containing cannabis and cannabis-derived compounds
December 20, 2018
"
Today, the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018 was signed into law. Among other things, this new law changes certain federal authorities relating to the production and marketing of hemp, defined as cannabis (Cannabis sativa L.), and derivatives of cannabis with extremely low (less than 0.3 percent on a dry weight basis) concentrations of the psychoactive compound delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). These changes include removing hemp from the Controlled Substances Act, which means that it will no longer be an illegal substance under federal law.

Just as important for the FDA and our commitment to protect and promote the public health is what the law didn’t change: Congress explicitly preserved the agency’s current authority to regulate products containing cannabis or cannabis-derived compounds under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) and section 351 of the Public Health Service Act. In doing so, Congress recognized the agency’s important public health role with respect to all the products it regulates. This allows the FDA to continue enforcing the law to protect patients and the public while also providing potential regulatory pathways for products containing cannabis and cannabis-derived compounds.

I guess I should have read the articles first. Oops. Let's hope that "CBD" products stop showing up positive for THC on my drug screens. :/

all hemp products will have slight amounts of THC in them. they are both after all in the same category of plants - Cannabis Sativa. the concentration of THC in hemp is roughly 0.2%.

it depends on the sensitivity of your LC/GS. long and short, however, is if the test is + for THC, then one must take action.

I thought the same thing when I saw this news! It helps that I'm watching Narcos on Netflix...

Honestly though, my pts who have tried this have not gotten benefit, so I'm not sure how viable CBD is.
