CBD, short for cannabidiol, represents one of over 100 active compounds called cannabinoids present in hemp and cannabis plants. Unlike the famous cannabinoid THC, CBD does not cause psychoactive properties or get users “high”.
After the 2018 US Farm Bill legalized industrial hemp containing less than 0.3% THC, the market surged for CBD wellness products thanks to early research linking CBD consumption with health benefits—including reducing inflammation, relieving chronic pain, alleviating anxiety, neuroprotective properties, and more.
Vermont aligned with federal law to fully legalize hemp farming and CBD distribution to consumers provided products feature less than 0.3% total THC content and make no unproven medical claims. That means Vermont residents can easily purchase quality lab-tested CBD goods locally or online.
