Indiana Governor Signs New Bill Legalizing Sale of CBD Oil

CBD

On March 21, Governor Holcomb signed legislation allowing the statewide sale of CBD oil. The bill includes language for labeling requirements. THC content may not be more than 0.3%.

CBD products will be available for purchase beginning July 1 when the new law takes effect, according to WTHI-TV 10. In 2017, lawmakers did pass legislation that is similar, but only allowed those with epilepsy to access CBD oil. Due to miscommunication in the law, a statewide crackdown on CBD sales in retail stores took place.

Holcomb said, “Indiana lawmakers delivered a bill that ensures Hoosiers who benefit from CBD oil can access it.”

CBD is derived from hemp and marijuana plants. It has therapeutic benefits but does not produce a high.
