As more people become familiar with marijuana, CBD products have started to make up a larger portion of marijuana sales. These products offer the medical benefits of cannabis <\/a>without the psychoactive effects of THC.<\/p>\n

Technically, CBD remains illegal at the federal level because the federal government still classifies marijuana as a Schedule I illegal drug. That\u2019s remained the case even as more than 30 states have approved cannabis for medical use.<\/p>\n

However, national drugstore chain CVS disclosed this month that it\u2019s selling products with CBD in a partnership with Curaleaf, which makes CBD-infused products.<\/p>\n

A CVS spokesman told <\/a>MarketWatch: \u201cWe have partnered with CBD product manufacturers that are complying with applicable laws and that meet CVS\u2019s high standards for quality.\u201d<\/p>\n

States Where CVS Is Selling CBD<\/h2>\n

According to the MarketWatch report, the list of states where CVS is selling CBD-infused products includes Alabama, California, Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland and Tennessee.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s interesting because while California and Colorado have made cannabis legal for recreational and medical use – and Illinois and Maryland both have legal medical marijuana – Alabama. Indiana, Kentucky and Tennessee have not legalized marijuana in any way.<\/p>\n

The products that CVS is selling include sprays, creams, lotions, salves and roll-ons. The fact that none of the products are edible or smokable may leave officials with more leeway in how they enforce federal laws against such products.<\/p>\n

Texas Crackdown<\/h3>\n

As CVS announced they are selling CBD-infused products, Texas had a crackdown. The Lone Star State, which has not approved marijuana for any use, recently saw raids on two stores that were selling products with CBD.<\/p>\n

Both the stores were independently owned retails shops in North Texas. The shop owners said police seized about $50,000 worth of CBD products.<\/p>\n

Most defend CBD use because it does not get the user high and is used for health benefits. The federal Food and Drug Administration has already announced<\/a> that when Congress legalized hemp with the passage of the Farm Bill, they may also have legalized CBD products derived from hemp.<\/p>\n

The FDA did caution that manufacturers cannot make health claims about CBD on their products or add it to food or dietary supplements without first getting approval from the FDA.<\/p>\n

Texas law, however, is more strict than federal law when it comes to hemp and CBD, according<\/a> to Leafly. Whether any of the states where CVS is selling CBD products will take action, especially those in the less marijuana-friendly South, remains to be seen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
