People are asking: Is CBD legal in Arizona? The short answer is yes! Today we’re exploring CBD Oil in Arizona|Updated Guidelines.
The CBD Industry is sort of like the Wild West, and how culturally appropriate when talking about the beautiful state of Arizona.
There seem to be many gaps and loopholes in the laws from State to State, so we’re going to break it down for you so you can easily understand what’s possible and what’s not.
For consumers, this can be challenging when trying to find a quality CBD oil.
As long as you know a few key and important factors, you’ll be able to find CBD oil that works for you!
As far as the current laws and legislation goes in Arizona, here is what we know:
Yes! CBD is absolutely, 100% legal in the State of Arizona as per Proposition 203.
The use or possession of over-the-counter CBD oil products is legal in AZ, but the use of CBD oil containing more than 0.3% of THC is prohibited.
CBD Broad Spectrum or CBD Isolate, which contain zero traces of CBD are your best buds here.
Broad Spectrum simply means that there is zero THC ( the psychoactive compound that gets you ‘high’) and some terpenes are not extracted.
Terpenes are natural chemicals found on the cannabis plant responsible for aroma and taste like limonene (lemon) and myrcene – which can be found in hops and has a peppery, spicy, balsam fragrance – like in beer!
They can make edibles taste wonderful, especially when you’re cooking.
CBD Isolate is CBD in it’s purest form, without any terpenes extracted whatsoever.
According to the Farm Bill 2018 that legalized hemp production in the United States, 0.3% of THC in CBD is the legal amount.
And this goes the same for CBD products are oils, gummies, topicals, or dog treats – they all need to adhere to the 0.3% rule, so-to-speak.
As per the Federal laws and Arizona State laws buying cannabis (THC) is still illegal. Growing hemp is also against the law.
However, to the best of our knowledge, this law does not include buying or importing hemp from outside Arizona either for personal use.
The great thing about AZ? You don’t need a medical marijuana prescription to purchase marijuana-derived products.
According to Proposition 203, if you want to apply for prescribed medical marijuana, you should have one of these conditions:
While CBD is legal, marijuana is not. In fact, AZ has some of the strictest recreational marijuana laws in the U.S.A.
The type of CBD oil that’s derived from hemp oil is what’s legal at a federal level (as of the 2018 Farm Bill) and therefore allowed to be taken across state borders, and, yes, on flights.
According to the laws, If the THC percentage is below 0.3 percent, it is ok to order CBD from any other U.S state, because it falls under the “hemp” category.
There are many wonderful CBD products available in the States.
CBD Capsules or CBD Oil are great ways to start using CBD in a controlled, manageable way.
You can also enjoy CBD edibles like gummies or CBD cocktail mixers – which contain zero traces of THC – perfect for Arizona and those hot, hot days!
There are also skincare and hair care products such as CBD Cream, and CBD Shampoo as well as CBD Conditioners – all wonderful wellness products that may improve the look and feel of skin and hair overall!
Then there’s the fun part of creating your own CBD edibles at home!
CBD Golden Milk is a wonderful anti-inflammatory hot bevvie that you can enjoy on cooler desert nights, or on mild-temperature days.
It’s a healing and wellness drink that really helps you feel relaxed, happy and decreases inflammation as well as possible bloating.
