CBD regulations could take years, warns outgoing FDA Chief
While the cannabis industry was hoping the U.S. Food and Drug Administration would make some quick tweaks to its policy that would allow edible CBD products to be sold across the country, outgoing commissioner Scott Gottlieb said earlier this week that, consistent with the other bureaucraptastic methods that make up the federal government, it could take years before these regulations are hashed out. The only tried and true way to solve the problem promptly, he said, is for Congress to intervene. Then there would be no question on the matter of CBD’s legality.
