Are CBD Products Legal in My State?


After the passage of the 2018 Farm Bill, industrial hemp is legal in all fifty states. That said, CBD's legality is still difficult for many to fully comprehend. We looked around for the CBD laws within every state to help everyone better understand the legal issues surrounding this amazing substance.


The Source of CBD is Key


CBD can be sourced from several different strains of the hemp plant. Not all of those strains are classified as "Industrial Hemp". In fact, only one strain of the hemp plant fits that distinction. All others fall into a marijuana classification. If the CBD is sourced from Marijuana Strains of the Hemp Plant, then it's illegal on the federal level, and illegal in most of the USA.


Vitality CBD Products


All of the CBD used in Vitality CBD, Inc. products can be traced back to federally legal Industrial Hemp plants and is therefore currently legal in all 50 states. That said, some states are more free with their laws than others. Check the infographic below to review the states within four classifications as to their "friendliness" to CBD products.
