There is industrial hemp that is legal, and many online articles say due to this the CBD extracted from it is legal. I understand that the DEA may disagree. Also technically CBD is illegal in Arizona. Still, from what I understand, CBD extracts from hemp are found all over the country as over-the-counter health supplements. What supports this claim to me is that there are two stores in Scottsdale, Arizona that are selling CBD products over-the-counter. They are fully aware of the legalities involved. They are the ones that are taking most of the risk. There is a grocery store Luckys Market in Naples, Florida that has it on their shelves. The only remaining questions are how the CBD was extracted, and how much CBD is found in their specific product. Here is an important fact. The DEA specifically ruled that if the CDA is extracted from the non-psychoactive parts of the hemp plant is legal. This is the stalk. However, in order to make the extraction process practical, I heard unhealthy chemicals are used.

I do not know why people are thinking that the CBD from hemp is not the same as CBD extracted from the plant. CBD is a specific chemical with a specific molecular structure. CBD is CBD no matter where you get it from. The only difference is the percentage of CBD found in a specific product. I am sure there are additional chemicals that come with the CDB product, for instance that which came from the extraction process itself.

Look at this informative article: https://www.thecbdistillery.com/hemp...marijuana-cbd/ I am sure other articles that come from more neutral sources will say the same thing.

Here is a quote from the article:

“A molecule is a molecule is a molecule. This theory is consistent when it comes to all cannabis products, including CBD products derived from hemp and marijuana plants.“
