According to Weedmaps, yes, cannabidiol (CBD) oil is currently legal in the state of Colorado — and, unlike many other states, Colorado allows for hemp to be used as a food additive. Colorado is one of the best CBD producing states in the nation and has an excellent climate to produce hemp for creation of CBD products.
Colorado is one of the country's most progressive states on legalizing cannabis. Medical marijuana has been legal since 2000, and in 2012, Colorado voters legalized adult-use marijuana. This is part of why we moved our facilities here to Antonito Colorado. We are the only vertically integrated hemp and CBD producer for well over 100 miles in all directions.
The state takes a similarly progressive stance toward industrial hemp and hemp-derived products, including CBD oil. While the 2018 Farm Bill legalized industrial hemp, it also left unanswered questions about CBD's legality.
Colorado CBD Laws
Industrial hemp cultivation in Colorado is regulated by the Colorado Department of Agriculture (CDA).
In 2018, Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper signed SB 18-205 which clarified regulations on hemp as an agricultural commodity. The state revised laws to allow all parts of the industrial hemp plant to be used as a food ingredient if manufacturers conform to specific rules. To use industrial hemp as an ingredient, manufacturers must register with the Colorado Department of Health and Environment (CPDHE) and must be able to demonstrate the following:
- All parts of the hemp plant utilized in food come from a state with an established and approved industrial hemp program, or a country that inspects or regulates hemp under a food safety program, or equivalent criteria to ensure safety for human consumption.
- The producer or grower of the industrial hemp must comply with any governing laws within the state or country of origin.
- The hemp must contain less than 0.3% THC.
- The use of the plant other than seeds and their derivatives will have lab test results that indicate the levels of THC are below 0.3%.
We've managed to not only follow all these laws since moving here but we've also managed to raise the bar in some instances.
