I just got word that the FDA has now classified CBD oil as a "drug" and as such it no longer falls under the supplement category, making it illegal to sell and buy.

This is just another personal freedom being stolen away by the FDA as it supports its mission of protecting and helping Big Pharma maintain it's monopoly on American "health."

This is just another example of what lengths the FDA will go to in stripping individuals of their right to choose, and to make personal decisions about their health and well-being!!!

....all in the interest of BIG PHARMA!!!

Ugh. Not surprised whatsoever. So corrupt and evil and wicked.

This is probably just the start. They have been trying to take our supplements and our right to natural substances away for quite a while now.... again, all in an effort to give Big Pharma absolute control.

That's ridiculous - can't believe this. Hopefully Canada won't follow suit.

I think their intention is to do just that. So, unless you grow or wildsource your own, your herbs will be at risk eventually.

Ok, so I'm not completely sure if it is actually illegal to sell and buy it at this point. I have been looking on the FDA website and am not seeing anything but those warning letters to a couple companies about their "preventative" & "curative" CLAIMS regarding CBD oil. It appears as though that was the issue, or is the issue, at least at the present time.

I'm not sure what to make of the claim that the FDA restricts it's buying and selling because of it now being classified as a "drug." It seems to me that what the FDA was addressing was the selling of CBD oil with illegal health claims that it felt put CBD oil in the drug category. Claiming that a supplement has any preventative or curative properties automatically places that substance in the regulated "drug" category and subjects the maker or seller to FDA regulations.
