DEA’s Ban on CBD Challenged in Federal Court

On Monday, sheriff’s deputies in Rutherford County, Tennessee, launched a series of coordinated raids across the district, a diverse and populous area in the state’s geographic center.

The triggering incidents, Sheriff Mike Fitzhugh later told reporters, was a child bringing home a piece of candy that contained CBD, or cannabidiol—a nonintoxicating compound present in the cannabis plant—and the resulting call to authorities from the child’s incensed parents.

But prior to December 7, 2016, neither Fitzhugh nor federal Drug Enforcement Administration agents would have been able to do anything about it.

The article that spoke of cannabis prohibition being a government conspiracy is very believable.

Too much money to be made by Xanax etc. for us to utilize the non psychoactive part of cannabis to ease anxiety. You really think the rich will lose BILLIONS to a plant you can easily grow in your backyard or shed?

We all love to quote the founding fathers and try to mimic their lifestyle yet we vilify hemp and marijuana because big brother told us to.
