In most states, a patient who turns 18 can freely buy CBD oil and other cannabidiol in specialized recreational marijuana stores, medical dispensaries, or retail outlets where dietary supplements are available. As a rule, the seller does not require a certified doctor’s appointment since CBD is legal as a safe bioactive supplement that does not cause adverse reactions and does not provoke addiction.
However, in some states, there are less liberal rules for the distribution of CBD. Firstly, the patient must be 21+ years old to be able to buy cannabidiol. Secondly, a dispensary employee may require a doctor’s prescription and refuse to sell it in the absence of one.
A child under 18 cannot independently buy CBD and other drugs containing cannabinoids at the time of purchase. If such a patient needs CBD and a medical specialist prescribes it, then there must be an official guardian who will purchase CBD oil. This also applies to other forms of cannabidiol for the patient. At the same time, the amount of CBD released to each patient is not monitored by law.
CBD is an effective dietary supplement that generally promotes overall well-being. It helps address several issues like depression, anxiety, muscle pain, and more. Taking the appropriate dosage is ideal.
It’s interesting to see the varying laws on CBD across states. I think it’s important to remember that even though it is a natural supplement, it should still be used responsibly and ideally under the guidance of a healthcare professional, especially when it comes to children or adolescents.
