Industrial Hemp is just cannabis with a THC content under 0.3%. This has been illegal to produce, but people have been doing it in states like CO, OR, etc, that have state-legal cannabis. Until now, CBD has been in a gray area because selling hemp has generally been accepted because of the <0.3% THC. But now that the 2018 Farm Bill has legalized growing hemp, federally, the FDA is saying, “slow down, CBD is a drug.” How this affects the CBD industry will be the thing to watch. On the one hand it just got a lot easier to farm the plant. But it’s about to get more regulated. Which is good for consumers who might be taking products that are toxic without realizing it. But it also will probably make it harder to get legit CBD oil to consumers without jumping through a lot of expensive regulatory hoops. (Agree about the headline being very misleading – this should be changed.)
