isn't CBD oil with thc less than .1% considered a schedule 5 drug.

KentuckyHemp Post #34581
Yes, it is a Schedule 5 drug. In league with Xanax and other benzo type drugs, which it shouldn't be.

Both of the above statements are incorrect, Please see the full documents in the links provided.

RE: CBD approval, unfortunately the FDA approved one drug, not the component CBD

The FDA has advised in the past that CBD be taken off the controlled substance list, but the DEA has not acted on it. A different topic, but...

The FDA approved Epidiolex, period.

Statement by FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb on 06/25/18,
"But it’s also important to note that this is not an approval of marijuana or all of its components. This is the approval of one specific CBD medication for a specific use"

The FDA approved the drug, not CBD
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration today approved Epidiolex (cannabidiol) [CBD] oral solution for the treatment of seizures associated with two rare and severe forms of epilepsy, Lennox-Gastaut syndrome and Dravet syndrome, in patients two years of age and older. This is the first FDA-approved drug that contains a purified drug substance derived from marijuana. It is also the first FDA approval of a drug for the treatment of patients with Dravet syndrome.

RE: Content of THC in hemp CBD os less than 0.3% THC (industrial)

Currently, CBD is still considered a Schedule I drug, but the farm bill will legalize CBD, in my opinion, by the changes being made in the 2018 farm bill with specific definitions of legal hemp. The DEA, IMO, will follow suit.
