Page 9 - What You Should Know About CBD

The 3 ways to legally buy CBD in the US:
1. Import it from outside the US
2. Get it from a legal medical marijuana program
3. Get it through a domestic Hemp program from a licensed industrial Hemp farm

Why US Industrial Farm Hemp Products are Legal:
In 2014, the Agricultural Act of 2014 changed the legal status of Hemp in the U.S. Section 7606
gave State Departments of Agriculture and institutions of higher learning the ability to grow,
cultivate, process, and market Hemp as long as research projects were conducted in accordance
with corresponding state and federal laws.
Hemp became more readily available, but it wasn't until August, 2016, that federal agencies gained
a legal basis for the broad acceptance of Hemp. This was provided by a Statement of Principles by
the USDA (also co-signed by DOJ/DEA and HHS/FDA).

Recent History and Legality of Hemp & CBD - Year by Year:
Pre-2014
Prior to 2014, all cannabis, including hemp, was not approved federally; it was not regulated or
lawful except under a DEA license as a Schedule 1 drug / agricultural commodity (i.e., food).
A 2004 9th Circuit ruling where the Hemp Industries Association won the right to import hemp
products (expressly omitting inclusion of the hemp flower) caused the importation of material
sourced from Hemp stalk and seed only to increase substantially.
2014
US Farm Bill, Section 7606 created a federal structure for industrial Hemp pilot programs at the
state level to engage in the growth, cultivation, and marketing of Hemp. Various state legislation
and regulatory structures provided the legal basis for low-THC Hemp production.
2015
An amendment allowing for the movement of Hemp plant matter, including seeds, across state
lines was included in the U.S. Agricultural Appropriations Bill.
Congress passed the Omnibus Act, which prevented federal monies from being spent to prohibit
the transportation, processing, sale or use of industrial Hemp that is grown or cultivated in
accordance with Section 7606 of the U.S. Farm Bill.
2016
A Statement of Principles signifying the federal acceptance of Hemp was issued by the USDA, in
conjunction with co-signers from DEA/DOJ and FDA/HSS.
NIFA, a part of the U.S.D.A., announced that it will accept Hemp-related projects for funding grants.
Federal politicians, including Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, declared in writing, their
support for Hemp as an agricultural commodity.
2017
The 2017 Omnibus Spending Bill passed, including previous Hemp language and clearly articulating
state/international line transportation.
The Hemp Farming Act of 2017 was introduced and widely supported. It is expected to pass.
