(NETWORK INDIANA) CBD oil can be legally sold in Kentucky, but not in Indiana. TV station WFIE in Evansville, reports stores that sell it in Kentucky have seen more Hoosiers coming across the Ohio River to buy CBD oil, after a recent attorney general’s opinion that selling it in Indiana is illegal.
Gene’s Health Food’s owners say they have Hoosier customers, who buy pills and oils, which can help some people who have seizures, among other ailments.
“It just actually helps to repair the body from all the damage that it comes across on a daily basis,” Co-owner Karissa Costello told the TV station. “I just think it’s misinformation and confusion, and it will come to the light that CBD is good for you and that CBD is safe for you.”
CBD is derived from marijuana, but is different than the chemical in pot that can get you high.
The Indiana General Assembly is expected to work on a new law that would allow it to be sold in the state. You must be on the State Health Dept. registry to possess it.
Attorney General Curtis Hill issued an opinion earlier this year that stores cannot sell the oil, and that stores that do sell it in Indian are in violation of the law.
Gov. Eric Holcomb then said stores would be educated for two months if the oil was found on their shelves. They will have to get rid of it.
