Is Hemp-Derived CBD Legal?

Many people are confused over the legality of Hemp because it is not readily available like other
crops. Until 2014, federal law made it so that only imported Hemp was legal in the U.S. This is why
America has been the largest importer of hemp products in the world, mostly from China, Canada
and Europe.
Hemp contains many separate components that can create a wide variety of effects. Cannabinoids,
such as cannabidiol (CBD) have been shown to be extremely beneficial in a broad scope of health
applications for the majority of the population. As opposed to other strains of cannabis, Hemp is by
law required to be very low in tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). THC is the cannabinoid that is
psychotropic and causes euphoria, or the "high" often associated with cannabis. Hemp is the non-
psychotropic version of cannabis and is actually considered a "superfood." In 2003, the U.S.
Department of Health and Human Services issued patents on certain cannabinoid molecules found in
Hemp, referring to them as "antioxidants and neuroprotectants.“
Hemp oils that are high in cannabinoids such as CBD, have recently become highly popular due to the
amazing evidence of their therapeutic impact. Millions of people are realizing and experiencing that
the neuroprotective, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory benefits of Hemp and CBD can help benefit a
wide variety of health challenges, including anxiety, pain and inflammation, amongst others.
