PURE CBD VAPORS PRODUCTS

With the market for marijuana and CBD (Cannabidiol) growing, it is important to know what is legal and what exactly is illegal. The State and Federal laws regulating Hemp and marijuana are complicated, and it is important to understand where they conflict and where they agree.  That way you can purchase and consume with the good faith of knowing your legal rights. For instance, only a number of states, not the federal government, have legalized recreational and medical use of marijuana, and Industrial Hemp has only recently been removed from the definition of “marihuana’ under the Controlled Substances Act.

Understanding what CBD (Cannabidiol) from HEMP is will help us answer the question of understanding why it is different than CBD Derived from marijuana. The biggest difference is the THC level. THC is a cannabinoid, 1 of 60, found in the Cannabis (marijuana) plant. THC is the cannabinoid that is known to produce the “high” that marijuana is known for.

In the article by Leaf Science (http://www.leafscience.com/2014/09/16/5-differences-hemp-marijuana/) it actually shows the difference between the Hemp and the marijuana.

“While marijuana plants contain high levels of THC, hemp contains very little of the psychoactive chemical. This single difference is what most rely on to distinguish hemp from marijuana. For example, countries like Canada have set the maximum THC content of hemp at 0.3%. Any cannabis with higher THC levels is considered marijuana instead.  In comparison, marijuana produces anywhere between 5-20% THC on average, with prize strains tipping the scale at 25-30% THC.”

CBD products sold by purecbdvapors have undergone lab testing to ensure quality and content.  The THC levels in the Hemp that is used by our affiliates to produce CBD contains THC content 0.3% or less.

The Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018 was signed into law December 20, 2018.  Section 10113 of the 2018 Act amended the Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946 (7 USC 1621 et. Seq.) to define “Hemp” as “. . . the plant Cannabis sativa L. and any part of that plant, including the seeds thereof and all derivatives, extracts, cannabinoids, isomers, acids, salts, and salts of isomers, whether growing or not, with a delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol concentration of not more than 0.3 percent on a dry weight basis.”  Also, Section 12619 of the 2018 Act amended Section 102(16) of the Controlled Substances Act (21 USC 802(16)) to amend the definition of Marihuana so as not to include “Hemp” as defined under the amended definition. ~ https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/house-bill/2/text.

While it appears that the debate on the legality of CBD from Industrial Hemp is settled, Congress did provide the states with the authority to impose stricter regulations on Hemp production and therefore CBD beyond those prescribed in the 2018 act.  Consequently, the legality of Hemp derived CBD is still subject to a state by state analysis.  Please check our FAQ page for updates as the legality of Hemp production and CBD evolves.
