Now, members of the U.S. Conference of Mayors are asking the Biden administration to do the same at the federal level. During its 89th annual meeting, the organization passed a comprehensive resolution urging President Joseph Biden and…

Participants in the hemp industry have states that drug approval is what’s keeping the FDA from regulating CBD as a dietary ingredient or supplement. Minor cannabinoids may not face the same issues as CBD because they haven’t been approved as prescription medications. Many hope the FDA’s approach to major and minor cannabinoids will shift, depending on the laws that make marijuana legal on a federal scale. A few manufacturers and leaders involved in the hemp…
