CBD, or cannabidiol, is derived from the hemp plant. It is unclear whether CBD derived directly from hemp is considered illegal. This article will examine the legality, as well as conflicting regulations, surrounding CBD derived hemp products. We'll also be discussing the mislabeling, conflicting regulation and use of CBD-derived products from hemp.
Hemp-derived CBD is legal
Despite the stigma surrounding marijuana, CBD derived from hemp is legal in the US. It is the same plant as marijuana but contains less than 0.3% THC per dry weight. It is therefore not on the federally controlled substances list. It can be found as a component of hemp gummies, capsules and oils.
Although cannabis-derived CBD has been made illegal in many US states, hemp is legal in many others, including New Jersey. Unlike marijuana, CBD is not psychoactive, and the state has made it legal for medical use and industrial hemp cultivation. It is also legal in Washington D.C., Delaware, Massachusetts, Maine, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Virginia.
Cannabidiol (also known as THC) is the most popular cannabinoid found in cannabis plants. It is thought to have many therapeutic effects, including pain relief and inflammation reduction. It interacts to the human endocannabinoid systems, which regulate many bodily processes.
Conflicting regulations
CBD is a growing treatment option for a number of ailments. However it is not legal in all states. Conflicting regulations are partly responsible for this. All CBD-containing products have to conform with local, state, federal laws. Some states have passed legislation permitting its use while others have banned it entirely.
While hemp-derived CBD is now a standard ingredient in many consumer products, federal regulators still consider the chemical an illegal substance. Although federal regulators oversee hemp products, the Federal Food and Drug Administration prohibits CBD from being used in food and dietary supplements. The Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FDCA) is the basis for this prohibition. The FDCA was created to preserve the incentives for drug research.
Furthermore, CBD is also illegal under the Controlled Substances Act. In a 2011 rule governing marijuana extracts, the DEA reiterated this decision.
Product mislabeled
FDA found that many CBD products were mislabeled. It plans to report its findings on Congress in 2020. The FDA has already sent warnings to companies that it has tested around 200 hemp-derived CBD products. Although this testing was delayed due to a coronavirus virus outbreak, the agency plans to do more in the future.
CBD products are not generally accepted as safe or effective by FDA. These CBD products are still new drugs as they fall under the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act. This means that CBD products should be clearly labeled. It is also illegal to sell a product if it does not carry the proper certification.
While CBD oil is approved for human consumption by the FDA, non-prescription CBD oil products are not. A majority of CBD-rich CBD products contain significant amounts THC. This is the main active ingredient of marijuana and gives you the "high".
FAQ
Which states have the highest CBD consumption?
California, Colorado, Oregon are the three most populous states. These states are home to large populations with high incomes and low unemployment rates. These states also have higher amounts of hemp farms than other States.
California leads the way because its economy is heavily based on agriculture. It produces the majority of the nation’s fruits and veggies. This makes sense because cannabis is extracted from the same plants as hemp.
Oregon and Colorado closely follow because both countries produce marijuana for medicinal purposes. California and Oregon, however, don't allow recreational use of marijuana.
Other high-ranking states include Washington, New York and Florida.
Which CBD products are most popular?
CBD products are popping up everywhere. People are buying them for everything from anxiety to pain relief. The market is huge and growing fast.
But why do people purchase CBD? How does this impact you as a brand manager?

If your product contains both CBD and THC, it can be used for medicinal and recreational purposes.
But what about brands which are focused on just one purpose? If a company sells CBD to relieve stress, it will be the only one that is competitive.
A brand that focuses on CBD for medicinal purposes will also have a large customer base.
If a brand wishes to reach recreational users, they must create a unique selling point (USP). A USP is essentially a benefit or feature that distinguishes a brand from its competitors.
Some brands offer free shipping while others offer bulk discounts.
Is the CBD market saturated?
The CBD industry is experiencing a growth rate of over 25% annually. This growth will continue at least five years. The industry is expected to grow from $2Billion today to $5Billion by 2020.
Two companies dominate the CBD market: GW Pharmaceuticals (Canndoc Ltd) and Canndoc Ltd. Both are focused on developing pharmaceutical-grade products. But they have not been particularly successful. They are both struggling to gain traction in the marketplace.

You will want to stay clear of CBD products if you are from one of these states.
Statistics
- The use of these products is likely to become even more widespread if the World Health Organization's recommendation that CBD no longer is scheduled in the international drug control conventions is adopted by the United Nations member states [201]. (ncbi.nlm.nih.gov)
- A recent study [161] also found that in vitro CBD treatment (i.e., ≤ 2 h exposure to 10 μM) induced ~40% vasorelaxation in isolated (pre-constricted) (ncbi.nlm.nih.gov)
- CBD seems unlikely to directly influence sleep in healthy humans [115] (and maybe “sleep-promoting” in those with certain comorbid conditions) (ncbi.nlm.nih.gov)
- OralWhere HED is the human equivalent dose, and Km is a correction factor estimated by dividing the average body mass (BM) of the species (60, 0.020, and 0.150 kg for 11 humans, mice, and rats, respectively) and by its surface area (see: Nair et al. (ncbi.nlm.nih.gov)
- A recent systematic review of human trials also reported that individuals with epilepsy receiving CBD (5–20 mg·kg−1·day−1) were more likely to experience decreased appetite than those receiving placebo (i.e., ~20 vs. 5% of patients) (ncbi.nlm.nih.gov)

How to promote CBD via social media

Social Media Marketing (SMM), is one of today's most powerful marketing tools. You can reach customers and prospects on a massive scale with this tool without ever needing a phone call or mass email.

CBD is a Cannabis sativa plant extract, which has been known for its healing properties. There are two main types of CBD products: full spectrum and isolate. Isolate is made from pure CBD oil extracted from the hemp plant, while full-spectrum means that the cannabinoids are derived from the whole plant.
Full Spectrum CBD Oil comes from the whole plant. Because it contains THC, this makes Full Spectrum CBD Oil legal in certain states. THC is considered a Schedule I drug, so CBD oil without THC cannot be obtained if you're in an illegal state. Hemp plants do not contain high levels of THC but enough THC that they are still illegal.
Facebook is a great place to advertise for CBD products. Advertise on YouTube and Pinterest are not good choices for CBD. The platform that you choose should be suited to your audience. Medium may be an option if you're looking to reach people that prefer reading articles to watching videos.

Targeting Option
Facebook allows you to target advertisements in four different ways, as we have already mentioned.
Location-Based Targeting:
Target users based upon their location by using either a city, post code, region or country. You can target anyone who lives within 100 miles from Seattle, Washington.
Demographic targeting:
You have the option of targeting people based upon their age, gender or relationship status.
Interest-Based Targeting:
You can also target people based their interest in your product. You can target people who are interested in hiking, if they like hiking.
Behavioral Targeting
This is similar in concept to interest-based targeting except that instead of targeting people based their interests, people are targeted based on the actions they take. You could, for example, target people who click on your link and visit your website.
