CBD and CBG hemp flower is not psychoactive but looks and smells like high-THC cannabis. And although hemp is legal on a federal level, some states have banned smokable hemp flower. We know these hemp laws can be confusing, so here’s an easy to understand explanation:
What Makes Smokable Hemp Buds Legal?
When the 2018 Farm Bill was signed, hemp was removed as a Schedule I drug from the Controlled Substances Act due to its non-intoxicating properties, which in effect made hemp legal under federal law.
