FDA Guidelines on Cannabinoids

The FDA's guidelines on cannabinoids set the rules for how these substances can be used, marketed, and sold. They ensure that products claiming health benefits are supported by scientific evidence and are safe for consumers. The FDA regulates the approval process for cannabinoid-based medications and monitors products to prevent false claims or unsafe ingredients. For hemp-derived cannabinoids like CBD, products must meet certain standards, but dietary supplements and foods containing cannabinoids are a gray area with ongoing regulatory updates. Overall, these guidelines aim to protect consumers while allowing research and innovation in cannabinoid products.
