Could CBD soon be legally sold as a dietary supplement or food in the US? The answer depends on how quickly the federal regulatory framework on cannabis in general and CBD in particular can be eased – and that’s in some doubt, according to experts contacted by CBD-Intel.

Former FDA commissioner Scott Gottlieb said it could take two to three years, before stepping down earlier this month. That now appears to be a best case scenario.
