FDA Commissioner Hahn makes first public comments on CBD On February 26th 2020, FDA Commissioner Hahn gave his first public speech at the NASDA Winter Policy Conference. He addressed the topic of CBD products and acknowledged that these products are here to stay. "People are using these products. We're not going to be able to say you can’t use these products. It’s a fools game to try to even approach that.” Commissioner Hahn went on to say "We have to be open to the fact that there might be some value in these products and certainly American’s think that’s the case. But we want to get them information to help them make the right decisions.”
We applaud Commissioner Hahn for acknowledging the fact that many American’s are using hemp extracts and that they are not going away. We urge the FDA to stop claiming CBD products are illegal and begin regulating them the same as any other food or dietary supplement. The industry is ready to work with you to help study this further and fill in the missing gaps but we can’t wait for years for that to happen given that consumers are using them.

As we continue to enjoy last season’s hemp seed superfood harvest here on the Funky Butte Ranch, I keep thinking about this plan I hatched in the pages of AMERICAN HEMP FARMER to crate a diet craze around the motto, “Hemp Keeps You Thin.” Some preliminary research on which I reported out of the University of Hawaii indicates a hemp diet might inhibit the expansion of lipid cells. That explains a lot. I’d evidently be considerably more rotund if it weren’t for all the hemp seed, exercise, yogurt and other living foods, farming, love, child-raising, making music, and ingesting clean air and water in my life mitigating the chocolate, goat cheese, butter and Star Trek binge watching.
