DEA QUIETLY CLASSIFIES CBD OIL AS SCHEDULE 1 DRUG [View all]
By Maureen Meehan December 16, 2016

Tell that to the thousands of epilepsy sufferers, who are mercifully enjoying relief from intractable epilepsy and polymorphic seizures.
Under their new drug code, entitled Establishment of a New Drug Code for Marihuana Extract, the DEA announced it was creating a separate code number for marihuana extract with the following definition: Meaning an extract containing one or more cannabinoids that has been derived from any plant of the genus Cannabis, other than the separated resin (whether crude or purified) obtained from the plant. Extracts of marihuana will continue to be treated as Schedule I controlled substances.
