Louisiana is starting to award permits to sell CBD products, and the first recipients include liquor stores, gas stations and CBD-specific shops.
Louisiana’s Office of Alcohol and Tobacco Control has so far awarded 20 temporary permits to sell CBD.
A new Louisiana hemp law allows the sale of hemp-derived CBD, but requires a state permit to do so. The temporary CBD sales licenses expire in February, when permanent rules are expected.
The Louisiana law says that hemp-derived CBD products can be sold if they have no more than 0.3% THC.
Louisiana bans smokable hemp products and CBD in alcoholic beverages and foods, saying those won’t be allowed until federal authorities approve CBD as a food additive.
