This is because each state has its own Controlled Substances Act (CSA), which generally aligns with the federal CSA. Additionally, the Farm Bill permits states to regulate CBD as they see fit.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><i>Note: The content on this page is for informational purposes only and is not intended to be professional medical advice.
