Green will never be able to trademark "Healthy Hemp"

But since it's the OTC, nothing stopping him from PR'ing that he already had. ROTFL consistent with his background. He's got Jason beat in the bankruptcy department 2 to 1 too!

Wonder if he bought Healthyhempoil.com ??

Dear Brandon Nolte:

This is to advise you that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) reviewed your website at the Internet address www.healthyhempoil.com in January 2016 and has determined that you take orders there for the products “Herbal Renewals Gold CBD Oil,” “Herbal Renewals CBD Oil Spray,” “Entourage Occam’s Razor Hemp e Liquid,” “Plus CBD Oil Hemp Salve Relief,” and “Hempotion Cannabidiol Extract Tincture,” which you claim contain cannabidiol (CBD). FDA also reviewed your social media websites at https://twitter.com/healthyhempoil and https://www.facebook.com/healthyhempoil/. The claims on your websites establish that the products are drugs under section 201(g)(1)(B) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act) [21 U.S.C. § 321(g)(1)(B)] because they are intended for use in the diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease. As explained further below, introducing or delivering these products for introduction into interstate commerce for such uses violates the Act. You can find the Act and FDA regulations through links on FDA’s home page at www.fda.gov.

Although you market “Herbal Renewals Gold CBD Oil” and “Herbal Renewals CBD Oil Spray” as dietary supplements, FDA has concluded based on available evidence that CBD products are excluded from the dietary supplement definition under section 201(ff)(3)(B)(ii) of the Act [21 U.S.C. § 321(ff)(3)(B)(ii)]. Under that provision, if an article (such as CBD) has been authorized for investigation as a new drug for which substantial clinical investigations have been instituted and for which the existence of such investigations has been made public, then products containing that substance are outside the definition of a dietary supplement. There is an exception if the substance was “marketed as” a dietary supplement or as a conventional food before the new drug investigations were authorized; however, based on available evidence, FDA has concluded that this is not the case for CBD.

The existence of substantial clinical investigations regarding CBD has been made public. For example, two such substantial clinical investigations include GW Pharmaceuticals’ investigations regarding Sativex and Epidiolex[1]. FDA considers a substance to be “authorized for investigation as a new drug” if it is the subject of an Investigational New Drug application (IND) that has gone into effect. Under FDA’s regulations (21 CFR 312.2), unless a clinical investigation meets the limited criteria in that regulation, an IND is required for all clinical investigations of products that are subject to section 505 of the Act. FDA is not aware of any evidence that would call into question its current conclusion that CBD products are excluded from the dietary supplement definition under section 201(ff)(3)(B)(ii) of the Act, but you may present FDA with any evidence that has bearing on this issue.

Examples of claims observed on your social media accounts that establish the intended use of your products include, but may not be limited to, the following:

https://twitter.com/healthyhempoil

July 14, 2015 posting – “Treating Schizophrenia with Cannabidiol . . .”

https://www.facebook.com/healthyhempoil/

June 5, 2015 posting – “An increasing body of evidence also suggests that cannabidiol, one of the major non-psychoactive cannabinoids in all types of cannabis plants, is a good natural remedy for anxiety.”

Your products “Herbal Renewals Gold CBD Oil,” “Herbal Renewals CBD Oil Spray,” “Entourage Occam’s Razor Hemp e Liquid,” “Plus CBD Oil Hemp Salve Relief,” and “Hempotion Cannabidiol Extract Tincture” are not generally recognized as safe and effective for the above referenced uses and, therefore, the products are “new drugs” under section 201(p) of the Act [21 U.S.C. § 321(p)]. New drugs may not be legally introduced or delivered for introduction into interstate commerce without prior approval from the FDA, as described in sections 301(d) and 505(a) of the Act [21 U.S.C. § 331(d), 355(a)]. FDA approves a new drug on the basis of scientific data and information demonstrating that the drug is safe and effective.

A drug is misbranded under section 502(f)(1) of the Act [21 U.S.C. § 352(f)(1)] if the drug fails to bear adequate directions for its intended use(s). “Adequate directions for use” means directions under which a layperson can use a drug safely and for the purposes for which it is intended (21 CFR § 201.5). Prescription drugs, as defined in section 503(b)(1)(A) of the Act [21 U.S.C. 353(b)(1)(A)], can only be used safely at the direction, and under the supervision, of a licensed practitioner.

Your products “Herbal Renewals Gold CBD Oil,” “Herbal Renewals CBD Oil Spray,” “Entourage Occam’s Razor Hemp e Liquid,” “Plus CBD Oil Hemp Salve Relief,” and “Hempotion Cannabidiol Extract Tincture” are intended for treatment of one or more diseases that are not amenable to self-diagnosis or treatment without the supervision of a licensed practitioner. Therefore, it is impossible to write adequate directions for a layperson to use your products safely for their intended purposes. Accordingly, “Herbal Renewals Gold CBD Oil,” “Herbal Renewals CBD Oil Spray,” “Entourage Occam’s Razor Hemp e Liquid,” “Plus CBD Oil Hemp Salve Relief,” and “Hempotion Cannabidiol Extract Tincture” fail to bear adequate directions for their intended uses and, therefore, the products are misbranded under section 502(f)(1) of the Act [21 U.S.C. 352(f)(1)]. The introduction or delivery for introduction into interstate commerce of these misbranded drugs violates section 301(a) of the Act [21 U.S.C. § 331(a)].

The violations cited in this letter are not intended to be an all-inclusive statement of violations that exist in connection with your marketed products. You are responsible for investigating and determining the causes of the violations identified above and for preventing their recurrence or the occurrence of other violations. It is your responsibility to ensure that your firm complies with all requirements of federal law and FDA regulations.

You should take prompt action to correct the violations cited in this letter. Failure to promptly correct these violations may result in legal action without further notice, including, without limitation, seizure and injunction.

Within fifteen working days of receipt of this letter, please notify this office in writing of the specific steps you have taken to correct violations. Include an explanation of each step being taken to prevent the recurrence of violations, as well as copies of related documentation. If you cannot complete corrective action within fifteen working days, state the reason for the delay and the time within which you will complete the correction. Your response should be sent to:
