I think it's pretty obvious from my response that I did indeed read the articles and responded to the concerns presented in them accordingly putting a rest to the misinformation that has been spread regarding the DEA's recent statement.


Regarding the legal status of CBD derived from industrial hemp: The 2014 US Farm Bill was an act of congress signed by the president and that is the highest law of the land. The DEA cannot make law and try to redefine a law passed by the US Congress which defined industrial hemp in section 7606 as "Any cannabis sativa L that produces naturally less than .3% THC on a dry weight basis."

Furthermore, the DEA is not allowed to interfere with a legal state licensed cannabis business - there is very recent case law that set precedent for this in the 9th circuit. See here: http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-ruling-marijuana-idUSKCN10R1YN

Lastly, the DEA was purposely de-funded by the US Congress last year (and is poised to do the same for this year:
