For CBD to be considered legal, it must be derived from hemp and contain less than 0.31% of THC. This is according to the Hemp Farming Act of 2018 by the United States government. CBD is federally legal. Thanks to the 2018 Farm Bill, the production, possession and sale of CBD derived from hemp is legal in the United States. The Farm Bill legally specifies how hemp is different from cannabis. Hemp-sourced CBD products are not considered drugs, because the THC content in legal hemp-derived CBD contains less than 0.31% THC…and can therefore be used and distributed legally.
