trouble ahead?
In addition to the lack of clarity at the federal level, the status of hemp and CBD at the state level is in disarray. Many states have stated that while hemp may be federally legal, it is not legal yet. For example, this past week, Florida's Agricultural Commissioner, Nikki Fried, said the state may soon try to halt sales of CBD products, saying "the sale of CBD products is not currently legal in Florida until state hemp legislation is passed." One of the big misconceptions over the past several years has been that CBD derived from industrial hemp is "legal in all 50 states", but that has never been the case and still isn't.
