Further, the chemical has shown promise in treating numerous health conditions, including seizure disorders, mood disorders such as depression, anxiety, and psychosis, chronic pain, and many more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most raw cannabis strains on the market today contain small amounts of CBD, especially compared with THC. But since the cannabinoid&nbsp; has gained considerable attention for its wide range of purported therapeutic benefits, more high-CBD strains have recently been cultivated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wm-article-table-of-contents-header\" id=\"why-is-cbd-sometimes-illegal\">\n\tWhy is CBD sometimes illegal?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>All types of cannabis, including hemp strains that don't produce enough THC to cause intoxication, were considered illegal under the Federal Controlled Substances Act of 1970. The law categorized all cannabis as Schedule 1, which defined the plant as a highly addictive substance with a high potential for abuse and no accepted medical use.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.agriculture.senate.gov\/imo\/media\/doc\/Agriculture%20Improvement%20Act%20of%202018.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">The 2018 Farm Bill<\/a> re-classified hemp as an agricultural commodity and made its cultivation federally legal. Further, the act removed some forms of cannabis from Schedule 1 status by creating a legal distinction between hemp and marijuana. Hemp is cannabis with less than 0.3% THC, and marijuana refers to cannabis with more than 0.3% THC. This distinction in federal law effectively legalized CBD that is derived from cannabis with less than 0.3% THC, as long as it has been cultivated according to<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.brookings.edu\/blog\/fixgov\/2018\/12\/14\/the-farm-bill-hemp-and-cbd-explainer\/\" target=\"_blank\"> federal and state regulations<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 2018 Farm Bill legislation does not mean that CBD derived from hemp is universally legal throughout the United States. According to the Farm Bill, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has the power to regulate CBD product labeling, including therapeutic claims and the use of CBD as a food additive.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The FDA has declared that <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fda.gov\/news-events\/public-health-focus\/fda-regulation-cannabis-and-cannabis-derived-products-including-cannabidiol-cbd#farmbill\" target=\"_blank\">even hemp-derived CBD may not legally be added to food and beverages<\/a>, or marketed as a dietary supplement. Although the organization has begun to re-evaluate some of its stances on legal CBD products, the FDA has not revised its regulations. The agency also has been strict in its position against any labeling that could be perceived as a medical claim about CBD.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to the federal regulation of CBD, the Farm Bill also gave states the option to regulate and&nbsp; prohibit the cultivation and commerce of CBD. States may also regulate CBD in food, beverages, dietary supplements, and cosmetic products independently, even before the FDA finalizes its policies.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wm-article-table-of-contents-header\" id=\"mississippi-cbd-laws\">\n\tMississippi CBD laws<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Mississippi has one of the most restrictive stances towards cannabis in the country.
