FDA Calls for New Powers to Regulate CBD ProductsCBD oils and other cannabis-derived products require closer regulation because of safety risks, the Food and Drug Administration said, as it seeks new powers to regulate cannabidiol products from Congress It’s about time. To be clear, this is NOT anti-marijuana action. The con artists and crooks that have inundated the CBD space are a threat to consumers and the entire legalization industry. Unless they are only asking for the same regulations that are used for cosmetics, vitamins, and personal care products which is mostly quality control and investigating powers then this is a complete load of crap steeped in drug misinformation Ugh
