<\/div>\n

Yes, most forms of cannabis are legal in Nevada, including hemp-derived cannabidiol (CBD) may be manufactured and sold if it complies with federal law that defines hemp, and with state law governing licensing and production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nevada legalized medical marijuana in 2000 with the Nevada Medical Marijuana Act, and in 2016 voters passed the Initiative to Regulate and Tax Marijuana, or Question 2, ushering in the era of legal adult-use marijuana. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In June 2019, Democratic Gov. Steve Sisolak approved SB 209<\/a>, which requires the Nevada Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) to develop and impose regulations on testing and labeling hemp products. The bill also restricts products containing hemp-derived CBD intended for human consumption<\/a> unless they comply with the protocols and procedures regarding testing and labeling. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBD oil is legal in Nevada if it doesn't cross into questionable territory. A recent presentation<\/a> by the Nevada Department of Agriculture (NDA) stated \u201cselling CBD oil that has not been combined with other food appears to be acceptable\u201d as long as there are no medical claims associated with the product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\tWhat is CBD?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

CBD is the second-most-prominent cannabinoid found in the cannabis plant after THC. Unlike THC, CBD is non-intoxicating and produces no high. The cannabinoid also shows potential as a therapeutic treatment, thanks to its anti-inflammatory, analgesic, anti-anxiety, and seizure suppressing properties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\tWhy is CBD sometimes illegal?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Even though industrial hemp doesn't produce enough THC to intoxicate consumers, all varieties of cannabis, including hemp, were swept into the category of Schedule 1 narcotics by the 1970 Federal Controlled Substances Act. The law defined cannabis as a substance with no accepted medical use, a likelihood for addiction, and a high potential for abuse.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t\t
