Hemp CBD oil products are legally available without a prescription throughout the entire U.S. and in at least 40 other countries.
With cannabis policies quickly evolving throughout the United States, it’s important to remember that a selection of cannabidiol (CBD) products is already available for you to legally purchase, even without a medical marijuana card.
Over the past twenty years, there have been thousands of studies investigating CBD and its natural effects on the body. CBD, a natural non-psychoactive cannabinoid found in the stalks, seeds, and flower of cannabis plants, interacts with your body’s endocannabinoid system to encourage homeostasis (balance) within your systems.
Because more people are learning about CBD’s botanical properties, the demand for CBD oil products has surged in recent years. Many people, perhaps yourself included, are wondering if and how they can legally access CBD.
Good news! Provided CBD products are made from oil that’s been extracted from hemp and not from marijuana, they are available to buy throughout the U.S. states and many other countries without the need of either a doctor’s recommendation or a medical marijuana card.
How It’s Legal to Buy Hemp CBD Without a Prescription
While marijuana and THC are prohibited under federal law, hemp and CBD were officially excluded from the United States Controlled Substances Act with the passage of the 2018 Farm Bill. Provisions in that bill made it federally to grow hemp and to process hemp-derived products for commercial purposes. This means that CBD products that are made from these particular excluded parts of hemp aren’t prohibited under federal law.
The CBD hemp oil products available in most major markets, including those from Medical Marijuana, Inc., are made from hemp. This is good news for those throughout the U.S. who have come to rely on CBD and its balancing properties.
Hemp, a member of the Cannabis sativa L. plant species, contains less than 0.3% THC by weight, which means hemp-derived products are not psychoactive like medical marijuana. Hemp is, however, naturally abundant in cannabidiol, making it possible to extract a legally accessible cannabis oil that contains significant levels of CBD.

When You Need a Medical Marijuana Card
While marijuana remains prohibited under federal law, 33 U.S. states and Washington D.C. have passed their own laws permitting patients who obtain a recommendation from a physician to legally access marijuana. Patients who want to buy marijuana from a dispensary for medical purposes must first get a medical card.
Medical marijuana laws are responsible for regulating the rules around the access and possession of cannabis products that are derived from marijuana. These federal and state marijuana laws have no effect on the legalization of CBD hemp oil, which can be purchased without the requirement of a medical card.
