According to Weedmaps, yes, CBD products containing hemp-derived CBD are legal in Connecticut. In January 2019, Senate Bill 893 legalized both hemp production and hemp-derived CBD products in the state. Products containing CBD can be sold as consumables or topicals, but are prohibited from making any claim of health impacts, medical effects, or physical or mental benefits.
CBD derived from marijuana is also legal, but only for patients with qualifying medical conditions. Connecticut has had a medical marijuana program in place since 2012. Adult-use marijuana remains illegal, although Connecticut decriminalized the possession of small amounts of marijuana in 2011.
Connecticut CBD Laws
Current Connecticut legislation permits the legal sale and purchase of CBD through two channels.
Hemp cultivation and hemp-derived CBD products were legalized in May 2019 under Senate Bill 893. The bill, which is also known as An Act Concerning A Pilot Program For Hemp Production, legalizes the sale of hemp products in Connecticut. Hemp products are defined as products created by processing hemp plants or hemp plant parts with a THC concentration of no more than .3 % on a dry weight basis.
Further, hemp-derived CBD products intended for ingestion are considered food, not controlled substances or adulterated products. These products are prohibited, however, from making any claim of health impacts, medical effects, physical benefits, or mental benefits.
Connecticut's position on the sale of CBD products was further clarified in a memo issued by the state's Department of Consumer Protection. Connecticut allows businesses to sell a wide range of CBD products, including smokable and vaporizable forms of CBD, edibles, drinkables, topicals, and more. The only requirement for any CBD product in Connecticut is that the CBD was sourced from a legally-grown hemp plant containing less than .3% THC by weight. Connecticut does not make any distinctions between hemp sourced in-state or out-of-state, on the provision that it contains less than .3% THC.
The channel for acquiring cannabis-derived CBD is through Connecticut's medical marijuana program. Patients with a qualifying health condition and a state-issued medical marijuana card may purchase cannabis products at state-regulated medical marijuana dispensaries.
