Is CBD regulated in California?
The final version of the 2018 Farm Bill allows the cultivation of hemp; it cannot contain more than 0.3 percent of THC (the compound in the plant most commonly associated with getting a person high). Farming hemp is highly regulated: under section 10113 of the Farm Bill, state departments of agriculture must consult with the state’s governor and chief law enforcement officer to devise a plan that must be submitted to the Secretary of USDA. One of the most important provisions from the perspective of hemp farmers lies in section 11101. This section includes hemp farmers’ protections under the Federal Crop Insurance Act.
