CLEVELAND – An alert about a popular remedy used to help with mental and physical ailments: some stores in Northeast Ohio are pulling CBD oil from their shelves following a new warning from the Ohio Board of Pharmacy.
For folks who use the product, which comes from cannabis, the move is creating controversy.
This week, the board sent out a reminder to gas stations, stores, pharmacies and restaurants that the sale of CBD oil is illegal.
But one criminal defense attorney says not so fast.
News 5 found out that it really boils down to the interpretation of the law and what’s in the oil.
