Marijuana Money May 4, 2018

May the fourth be with you!

The DEA won the case regarding Cannabidiol or CBD from the Hemp Industries Association. The Ninth Circuit appeals court ruled in favor of the DEA that wants to classify CBD as a schedule 1 controlled substance. The DEA has long believed that CBD is a marijuana extract and since marijuana is schedule 1 then so is CBD. The agency made a rule change in 2016 that worried CBD makers at the time, which the DEA talked down. Now it looks as if the DEA is setting itself up to go after CBD makers.
