CBD confusion, lies, and intentional disinformation from CBD salesmen with hidden agendas these past two years is explained quite excellently in today’s Gazette:
“The farm bill removed hemp from the Controlled Substances Act, so the substance no longer is an illegal drug under federal law, but the FDA has not approved CBD as a dietary supplement or food additive.
Under Iowa Code, mature cannabis stalks and oil made from the seeds — which could contain CBD — are specifically exempt from the legal definition of marijuana. However, the 2017 Medical Cannabidiol Act states that people using CBD outside the state medical program are subject to penalties.
The Iowa Department of Public Health published a “position statement” last year to say legal CBD products can be purchased only by patients and caregivers with a medical CBD registration card from the state, a population that totals just under 3,000 statewide. The statement notes other agencies, not the health department, have enforcement authority.
Iowa Attorney General Tom Miller has not issued an official opinion about CBD enforcement and prosecution, but his office offered this statement: “The Legislature has approved only one way to obtain CBD, and that’s through a state-licensed distributor.”

Massive thanks to Adam Sullivan, At Liberty, for the best and most concise explanation by the media we’ve seen here at WeedPress to date. Adam has consistently asked tough, deep questions about the marijuana issue from educated political perspectives (multiple perspectives).
My favorite question asked over the years is, why doesn’t the marijuana movement be more professional, ie, political organizing, etc? The answer to that will be proffered from our perspectives in an upcoming WeedPress Post.
