Is CBD legal where I live?
Yes! Hemp-derived CBD products (with less than 0.3% THC) are federally legal in all 50 states. Hemp-derived CBD is regulated under the 2018 Farm Bill. This is why you should verify that any CBD product has been third-party tested for potency before purchase. For more information regarding legality, consult with the state laws, customs offices and the local government of anywhere you travel to ensure your safety and regulatory compliance.
Under the 2018 Farm Bill and Agricultural Improvement Act, hemp-derived CBD is not regulated as a Schedule I controlled substance by the Drug Enforcement Agency. State jurisdictions vary, however, and additional restrictions may apply in your region. Lazarus Naturals cannot offer legal advice so please consult with your local representative regarding the legality of any product prior to purchase.
