I mean, it's almost true, but 1) no substance has changed legal status, 2) CBD oil was not specifically mentioned.
Marijuana extracts have been illegal for as long as marijuana itself has been. Now the DEA gave them a specific code. So up until now it was be categorized under the same code as bud, and now under something else.
CBD oil can be extracted from marijuana (cannabis plant with THC content above cutoff level) or hemp (cannabis plant without THC content above cutoff level). Hemp extracts aren't illegal. Yes it's dumb, but that's US law (and well drug law in general) for you.
And even so, don't forget that the Fugitive Slave Act was enacted only a few years before Emancipation. It's always darkest before sunrise.
I think that there is legitimate reason for concern here PsyDuckmonkey. Based on my interpretation of the wording of the new rule, and I admit that I'm moar than clueless on legal matters, it seems like what they're doing is changing their own administrative codes to include
any cannabinoids, extracted from
any cannabis plant, as a Schedule 1 drug.
Now, this might not be anything, but forgive me if I don't trust anything that the DEA does. To me, they're criminals, who'll use any legal finagling to get their way. And with Jeff Sessions coming in, there's even moar reason for worry.
I love that quote BTW PsyDuckmonkey! I think it says a lot about the times we live in.
