I'm sure you guys can clarify this one. I got sent a link with picture of Trump signing something and holding it up. It told a whole story of how Trump had legalized CBD.
The photo, however, is from Trump signing the departure of TPP.
Now I'm wondering, can't get clear online, has he actually legalized CBD in the States or not? Legalized as in not needing prescription, but able to buy it over the counter.

Yes. So is it real? What I was sent was a hoax (read= advertisement for CBD oil)

Someone with more knowledge than I needs to expound on this, but, in TN at least...CBD oil is legal...
It doesn't contain THC or whatever the "illegal" stuff is...
It is made from hemp..

I know there are stores in Knboxville and Cookeville that sell it...I am sure in other cities as well..

I bought some...haven't tried it yet.

OK, thanks! Maybe someone else will know if said article is true or not :)

I've used it as well, however, only 1 bottle. I can't say I noticed anything in particular so I didn't buy another bottle as it cost E40 (approx $44) for I think what was 10ml.
There is cheaper versions but then you need to take more, so in the end it isn't cheap, hihi.
Hope it'll help you :)

Does the 2018 Farm Bill legalize CBD?

President Trump is expected to sign the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018β€”also known as the farm billβ€”later this week, after Congress approved the measure on Wednesday. CBD is now a lot less illegal. But don't wave it in the face of a DEA agent. With that signature, hemp will become legal nationwide.

I think, though I'm not certain
CBD is good for many things
But since it's recent, legalising, it is being a bit over hyped and misleading
Much of it, is quite weak, so probably not going to do a lot
Plus, for things like cancer, I believe cannabis oil, has to be pure, I.e. not tampered with, so the T.H.C. would still need to be in it
Also, as far as I'm aware, there are over 100 different compounds in cannabis. T.H.C. and C.B.D. are just 2. I don't think, we even know, what a third of them are
So I think it's quite possible, that when they remove the T.H.C. they also remove some of the other compounds, perhaps unknowingly.
Not certain if this helps, or is relevant
But let's face it, cannabis was used for various ailments for at least 200 years, and was available in various forms, tinctures and such, from apothecarys and chemists, up until around the 1920's I think, and then was only stopped due to it's legal status changing

Okay, so in that sense it is indeed true. Thanks!

I wasn't asking whether you think it works or not, but if it's true that Trump is going to legalize it, hihi.
As for it working, it requires a tiny amount of THC in there in order to work. So you have to check that before purchasing, it's I believe 2 or 3% min. You can find that online. Without that it is pretty much useless.
That's not nearly enough to make you feel giddy, but enough to make the oil work.
If you get the more diluted stuff (cheaper) you need to take some 15 droplets so you go through it quite fast. The purer stuff (expensive) you take some 3-5 droplets. So it lasts some 3-5 times longer, making it worth your money.

Ah, sorry, regarding Trump, I ain't got a Scooby
But surely that would mean legalising it full stop
In the UK there's zero THC in the CBD oil
And it's weird really, because it shouldn't be diluted. The whole point of oil, is it's the purest form
So I assume they just make it from a plant that has less CBD , which seems a strange thing to do
Thinking about it, Trump may well do that, there's a ton of money in it, and it deprives Mexico of an income. And he's in the perfect position to see who gets licenses to produce it, so that would seem to suit him. Plus they could then export it, under the counter, to pay of some of the national debt, rather like how Britain now exports it, to your country
