Are CBD products and extracts legal?

In the United States on a federal level, hemp-based products, like hemp oil or edibles, are perfectly legal. That means that CBD (which is found in hemp) and its various products are legal to buy in all 50 states because, unlike THC-rich marijuana, CBD is not a psychoactive drug, but is rather used therapeutically.

In Canada, obtaining CBD extracts legally requires them being subject to the federal Marihuana for Medical Purposes Regulations (MMPR) program. Unlike THC-rich products, CBD-dominant strains (hemp) are legal on the federal level. In all ten provinces there are dispensaries and stories that legally sell CBD oil and other hemp-based products, albeit to people with a medical prescription.
