Dr. Hahn’s Comments on CBD

Hahn, sworn in as FDA commissioner in December, asked the attendees how many people went through Reagan National Airport, and came upon a store that has a “huge stand for CBD products.”

“So, we know one thing from the American people: they’re using CBD products,” Hahn said. Hahn went on to tell a story about a patient who texted him to say that they were using CBD oil as part of a broader cancer treatment.

“We’re not going to be able to say ‘you can’t use these products,’” Hahn said. “Even if we did, it’s a fool’s game to even try to approach that. But what do we need to do? We need to fill the information gaps. We need to understand what it helps with, because we have some evidence on the drug side that it may be beneficial.”

Hahn then asked, referencing the proliferation of popular non-pharma CBD products, which are not yet FDA-approved, “What about on the other side of the fence? Where could it be of benefit? FDA has spent a lot of time looking at this. We are trying to formulate what our stance is going to be on this. It’s an important time for FDA to really communicate with the American people about what we think is a risk, versus what we’d like to study further and look at. Because I think we have to be open to the fact that there might be some value to these products. And certainly Americans think that that’s the case.”
