Lois Duquette, McNees, Wallace & Nurick LLC. Presented at the 2019 conference
The changing state of the law regarding industrial hemp, cannabis and CBD frequently has been in the news lately, particularly with the passage of the 2018 Farm Bill. But what does the passage of the 2018 Farm Bill really mean for snack and candy manufacturers and marketers? Is industrial hemp really “legal”? Is CBD legal too? What is the impact of being located in a state that has legalized recreational marijuana as compared to a state that has not legalized recreational marijuana? Much of the news on this topic has been filled with misinformation and wishful thinking, often written by parties hoping to make the facts fit their agenda. This presentation will separate facts from fiction and provide an unbiased overview of the current state of the law concerning industrial hemp, cannabis and CBD, with a particular focus on industrial hemp and CBD.
