Contentious bill sets different rules for several hemp products
CBD advocates and sellers are celebrating a big win this month after California Governor Gavin Newsom signed into law AB-45, a bill legalizing the sale of dietary supplements, foods, beverages and cosmetics containing the popular hemp-derived cannabinoid.
After nearly three years of debate and negotiations with a slew of opponents, manufacturers and sellers of these products, including many direct selling companies and their suppliers, will finally be able to access the largest state market in the country, representing 20 percent of U.S. wellness consumers.
