Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to approve cannabidiol (CBD) for use in dietary supplements.
House Resolution 841, also called the Hemp and Hemp-Derived CBD Consumer Protection and Market Stabilization Act of 2021, was introduced by Democratic Oregon Rep. Kurt Schrader and Republican Virginia Rep Morgan Griffith, with five Republican and 12 Democratic co-sponsors. The bill would simply make hemp subject to all the regulations as any other dietary supplement – subject to new dietary ingredient (NDI) filings, Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and labeling and marketing provisions.
Under the bill, hemp’s definition as a cannabis plant with less than 0.3 percent tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) – the psychoactive constituent of cannabis – would remain unchanged. The focus on THC also means that other cannabinoids and terpenes within hemp can also be approved for use in dietary supplements.

A few months ago, I discussed why hemp-derived cannabidiol (CBD) products should be regulated as dietary supplements despite the fact that the FDA deems the marketing of these products as unlawful. If you recall, this rationale stems from an exclusion clause in the definition of “dietary supplement” under the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (FDCA) that generally disallows the use of an FDA-approved “drug” as a dietary supplement (the Drug Exclusion Rule). Because CBD was investigated and approved as a new drug ingredient Epidiolex
before CBD was marketed as a dietary supplement, the sale and marketing of these products violates the FDCA.
