The 2018 Agricultural Improvement Act (Farm Bill 2018) authorized by Congress made hemp products containing less than 0.3% tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) legal. However, contrary to popular belief, this bill did not authorize the legal sale of cannabidiol (CBD) products for promotion of any traditional health benefits, yet the sale of CBD products across the United States has significantly increased following its passage. There is currently no formal regulation on CBD products being sold in the United States beyond Epidiolex® which is specifically regulated as a drug via the FDA. Pharmacists need to understand the basics of how CBD acts on the human body, which health claims have been proven via robust clinical trials, and the potential adverse effects and drug interactions that may occur in a patient who uses these unregulated products in conjunction with their prescribed or over-the-counter medication regimen. Pharmacists also need to be able to provide information regarding the sale and regulation of CBD products and the potential issues that may arise given the current legal status of CBD products. | 1.50 credits (1.50 pharmacology) | $40.00
