Marijuana being confined to the states is protecting it from the FDA/Pharmaceutical take over. You need congressional support to get it past the FDA which marijuana does not have. Agricultural hemp (cannabis under .3% thc) will most likely be descheduled first. Then they will have to go fight the FDA but the fight will be much easier because the the lack of psychoactivity and intoxication from cannabidiol. The THC in agricultural hemp is determined to be in trace amounts so it will be able to much more easily pass the FDA.

The point is; be careful what you wish for.

Think of it this way:
THC literally turns the key on the lock of the door (in your body).
CBD simply attaches to the lock of the door but effects what the keys do when they are turned.

The FDA is already setting up the legal case because of the phychoactivity of THC that they want to give a monopoly for marijuana/high thc cannabis to the pharmaceutical industry.

They are certainly trying to do the same with cbd/agricultural hemp but the argument is so much weaker due to lack of psychoactivity and intoxication from Agricultural Hemp/CBD Oil. Also Big Ag/Farmers are saying hell no to the FDA. The marijuana industry doesnt have farmers; they have indoor high carbon foot print grows.
