CBD Hemp Oil From Green Roads Nebraska- Growing Popularity In The USA

Even though most Nebraskans support medical cannabis, initiatives to legalize CBD in Nebraska have so far been unsuccessful. While first-time offenses for possession of a small amount of cannabis are treated as civil infractions, second and third offenses are misdemeanors punishable by up to seven days in jail.


Is CBD Oil Legal in Nebraska?

In 2015, Legislative Bill 390 established a pilot study program in the state through the University of Nebraska and Nebraska Medical Center. Currently, only patients with intractable seizures may obtain CBD through this program. Possession by a person not participating in this study is likely to be treated as the possession of an illegal controlled substance.
As of 2018, CBD products that are approved by the FDA have been removed from the state’s definition of marijuana. The FDA recently approved Epidiolex, an oromucosal spray produced by GW Pharmaceuticals, for use in the treatment of intractable epilepsies in the United States. As an FDA-approved substance with CBD as its only component, Epidiolex is currently the only CBD product legally available in Nebraska.
Is CBD Oil Legal in the US?
In spite of the strict laws enacted in individual states, the U.S. as a whole is becoming very hemp-friendly. The Agricultural Act of 2014, known as the Farm Bill, is a piece of national legislation that permits all states to cultivate and research industrial hemp if they so choose. The law stipulates that industrial hemp products are allowed to be sold in states if the products: comply with relevant state laws, are produced in conjunction with a state department of agriculture, and are produced for research purposes including both medical and market research.
Most importantly, the Farm Bill defines hemp as any cannabis plant or derivative of such plant which contains less than 0.3% THC by dry weight. THC is the psychotropic compound that produces the ‘high’ synonymous with marijuana. In trace amounts of less than 1% by dry weight, it has negligible effects.
This means that hemp-derived products, like Green Roads CBD, are not considered controlled substances by the federal government. The law leaves regulating CBD products to the individual states.
History of Hemp In Nebraska

Hemp has been a powerful ally of the United States throughout the years as an efficiently grown and versatile plant. It was brought to this continent in 1645 and has been grown across the nation ever since. It was cultivated with great success until the mid-1900s when heavy taxation was placed upon the plant. Interestingly enough, the hemp plant was a prized commodity which the United States government pushed farmers to grow during World War II. After the war, hemp production continued in the U.S. until it finally slowed to a halt in 1958. This means that hemp has grown on American soil for over 300 years.
Qualities of Hemp
If you are reading this article, then you most likely know that hemp extracts are beginning to reach mainstream attention. CBD is a cannabinoid compound found in the hemp plant. Other plant extracts can be prepared with hemp such as CBD Terpenes Oils. Terpenes are natural compounds that produce the aromatic and flavorful qualities of plant essential oils.
Cannabinoids and terpenes interact with the human endocannabinoid system. This system helps maintain homeostasis throughout the brain and body. CBD and terpenes make an excellent addition to any holistic regimen.
Hemp also has some very compelling environmental benefits. It helps clear soil contamination and grows in quick cycles. One acre of hemp can provide the same amount of paper as four acres of average pulp! Hemp is also the source of a “biomass fuel [that] would not result in any net CO2 being added to the atmosphere.” Hemp is known to produce more biofuel than any other plant per acre. As of 2018, over 34 states recognize the benefits of hemp and are already creating legislation to allow for the production of this crop in their state. It is clear that both hemp extracts and hemp products can help bring balance to our environment.


Where Can I Buy CBD Oil in Nebraska

While CBD is available to a majority of U.S. citizens, Nebraska has not yet approved it for sale in their state. Once CBD is available for purchase, online vendors like Green Roads are an excellent source for CBD purchases. They carry a wide variety of CBD, in preparations such as CBD Daily Doses and CBD Edibles like CBD Froggies.
The CBD provided at Green Roads is extracted from the industrial hemp plant through a CO2 extraction. This extraction process uses CO2 that is extremely cold and pressurized to produce a CBD solution. This solvent is easily separated from unwanted elements such as THC. All of our products including CBD Coffee and CBD Tea utilize this CO2 extract which is safe and non-toxic.
Purchasing CBD Online

Before purchasing CBD oil online, it is important to research the vendors you are buying from. A reputable vendor will have a large list of customer reviews for credibility and will provide independent lab testing for quality assurance. Green Roads provides all of this information. Our products are formulated by a board-certified pharmacist with 20 years of experience. Many learning resources are available on our website, and if you have any additional questions, an experienced customer service team is available to help!

*The legal landscape around CBD is unclear and changing rapidly both at the Federal and State level. Federally, the 2018 Farm bill legalized industrial hemp and its derivatives, including CBD, however, the bill specifically provided that States may have more restrictive legislation.
At the State and local level, while CBD has been declared legal in a number of States or localities, in others its status remains unsettled and the landscape is changing rapidly. Even in States and localities where the law is adverse, enforcement is haphazard and often stems from misinformation or misunderstanding.
It is important to understand that, generally, the law is more favorable towards CBD produced from hemp than from marijuana and Green Roads’ products are produced exclusively from hemp. Also Green Roads products contain undetectable levels of THC.
