According to Weedmaps, cannabis-derived products, including CBD, were legalized for eligible Arizona medical marijuana patients in 2010. Adult-use cannabis remains illegal following a failed initiative in 2016.
While the guidelines for the cultivation and production of industrial hemp in Arizona were outlined in 2018 Senate Bill 1098, the state's CBD market is relatively unregulated at present due to the absence of specific state law. As a result, CBD remains relatively easy to purchase—so long as the CBD was derived from industrial hemp plants that conform with federal requirements.
Arizona CBD Laws
To date, Arizona lawmakers have not created specific regulations for hemp-derived CBD products; rather, the state's hemp legislation makes subtle references to CBD products.
The Arizona State Legislature passed SB 1098 in May 2018. This bill allows the state to establish and regulate a program for growing, harvesting, processing, researching, and selling industrial hemp. There are several critical provisions within this bill, although ambiguously worded, that have come to define Arizona's stance on CBD.
Firstly, 'industrial hemp' is defined as a cannabis plant that contains no more than 0.3% THC by dry weight. The law also makes an important distinction that any part of the plant that meets this definition is by extension allowable.
The second key provision is the bill's reference to hemp products. SB 1098 expresses that Arizona's industrial hemp program is designed to research the growth, cultivation, and marketing of industrial hemp, hemp seeds, and hemp products. 'Hemp products' are defined as all products formulated from a legal industrial hemp plant. This wording also implies CBD products derived from an industrial hemp plant.
Ultimately, Arizona law has made no explicit rulings either way on the specific issue of hemp-derived CBD. But recent legislation such as SB 1098, combined with the 2018 Farm Bill, have in practice established the precedent that hemp-derived CBD oil and other CBD products will not be prosecuted by the law.
