Whether CBD gummies are legal is closely tied to the legality of CBD and marijuana in general. For a long time, marijuana was a Schedule 1 restricted substance in the United States. During this period, the law didn’t distinguish between regular marijuana and industrial hemp. This lack of distinction remained even though regular weed is psychoactive and industrial hemp is not psychoactive.
The US Senate, through the Farm Bill, 2018, made a distinction between regular, THC dominant cannabis and the CBD dominant industrial hemp. As a result, having cannabis gummies for sale became a legal business as long as they were made from industrial hemp. It also became legal to grow, research, process, and use industrial hemp as long as it contains no more than 0.3% THC.
The law, however, isn’t well harmonized across different levels of government. You may find that the state or local laws you reside in don’t allow one or more important aspects of the CBD value chain like transport or sale. There is also the question of CBD gummies that are processed from regular marijuana. There are THC gummy bears for sale in many places where marijuana is legal, but CBD gummies must have the accepted levels of THC.
Even the illegality of CBD obtained from regular marijuana depends on jurisdiction because, in some states, regular marijuana is now legal, not only for therapeutic but also for recreational use.
In summary, it is not possible to state unequivocally that CBD gummies are legal throughout the country. However, one can state that it is possible to access the gummies throughout the country without getting in trouble with the law.
The fact that you can order the gummies online also helps to gain access in jurisdictions where it is illegal to trade in the CBD gummies or where you can’t find good quality gummies for one reason or the other.
