States move to legalize CBD to end confusion over US rules
Associated PressSAN FRANCISCO — CBD oil-infused gummy bears, lattes and other food, drinks and dietary supplements are selling quickly even though the U.S. government says they’re illegal and local authorities have forced some retailers to pull products. Health officials in California, which has the nation’s largest legal marijuana marketplace, warned retailers last summer that anything edible containing CBD is illegal until lawmakers or regulators say otherwise. San Francisco health officials recently barred two small operators from selling CBD-infused food and drink, while authorities in rural Grass Valley, 140 miles away, did the same to a small, cooperatively owned grocery store. “What this bill will do is clear up the confusion.” She said the legislation would stop state and local enforcement of the FDA’s ban and hopes it becomes law by August.
