Major confusion in Indiana: Governor and Attorney General disagree on legality of CBD

Things are getting ridiculous in Indiana. Last week, Attorney General Curtis Hill released an advisory opinion stating that “substances containing cannabidiol retain their prohibition.” He later doubled down in an interview insisting that CBD products would still be illegal even if it had zero THC them.

Meanwhile, Governor Eric Holcomb instructed Indiana State Excuse Police to begin “surprise inspections” at retailers selling CBD oil. The inspections will test for THC levels, as well as “educate, inform and issue warnings” to retailers for the next 60 days after which CBD products are at risk of being confiscated.

When asked whether CBD products containing no THC are legal in Indiana, Governor Holcomb said “Absolutely. Absolutely. The CBD oil will still be bought and sold in the state of Indiana.” — an opinion the Attorney General does not share, after stating that all CBD products are considered illegal under the law, irrespective of THC levels. Do these guys talk?

Things are made even more complicated by the fact that CBD oil was legalized for patients suffering from treatment-resistant epilepsy back in April. There is however, no legal way for them to obtain their medicine. Several lawmakers are currently in the process of introducing legislation to clear up this mess before the 60 day warning is over.
