Fda Warns "cbd" Sellers

[trichcycler]

"The FDA warned Hemp Oil Care that statements about the products: “Cibaderm Hemp Salve,” “Dixie Botanicals Dew Drops Hemp Oil Supplement,” “Hemp Honey 21% Cannabidiol Oil,” “Hemp Honey CBD Vape Oil,” and “Hemp Pure Vape E-Drops,” cause them to violate the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.

 

Twin Falls Bio Tech can’t even spell cannabidiol, right, the FDA points out. The FDA quotes their web site: “Cannibidiol (CBD) [sic]: … helps with cancer, multiple sclerosis…diabetes, arthritis, dystonia, Chrohn’s [sic] disease…”

 

A work-around for companies selling CBD is to simply make no medical claims and link to outside independent research on CBD science. Then let buyers draw their own conclusions.

 

While the FDA is focusing on medical claims by CBD makers, many experts remain concerned about a bigger issue: Where exactly is this hemp CBD coming from?

 

Hemp is mainly grown in China, but also Eastern Europe and Canada for industrial — not human medical — use as fiber, or seed oil. It contains trace amounts of CBD. Some industrial hemp is grown for bio-remediation— the plant helps leaches heavy metals out of poisoned soil.

 

Experts advise consumers to be wary of any claims about the sourcing of “100 percent legal CBD.” For one, CBD is still a schedule 1 narcotic — so it’s not 100 percent legal. "
