The DEA may be trying to implement a CBD ban with a new rule to reclassify non-THC cannabis oil as a schedule 1 drug. But do they have the legal authority? Does this new rule amount to a CBD ban?
A CBD ban appears to have been put in place by the DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration), an agency of the US Government. Two days ago on their website, they posted a notice that they had made a “new rule”, effective Dec. 14th 2016, to classify “marihuana” (their antiquated spelling, not mine) as a Schedule 1 drug, making all forms of the plant illegal under federal law. What this means is that CBD (cannabidiol) extracts which have trace amounts of, or absolutely no THC, and are therefore non-psychoactive, are now reclassified to be on par with psychoactive or THC-containing substances like cannabis, heroin, LSD and peyote.
This latest stunt by the DEA is sure to be met with fierce resistance by a legion of Americans who are well aware of the health benefits of the cannabis plant. Legally speaking, the move is also highly dubious in nature, given that the DEA is by definition part of the executive branch of government (tasked with carrying out laws and enforcing them), not the legislative branch of government (tasked with making laws). Does this new rule carry legal weight? Will it amount to a CBD ban?
