Protect Hemp Products in Nebraska!
LB316 is being characterized as a pro-hemp bill. But upon closer examination, the bill would ban hemp-derived CBD products by requiring them to be possessed, handled, transported, used, and consumed in accordance with the Nebraska Pure Food Act and the federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. The bill is using the FDA’s non-binding guidance that CBD cannot be added to food or marketed as a dietary ingredient to criminalize CBD products in Nebraska.
Please urge legislators to oppose the bill. The FDA’s non-binding guidance should not be the basis for criminalizing hemp-derived CBD products that are federally legal under the Farm Bill, especially non-intoxicating products.
