CBD is federally legal in the US.

Why is Automattic forcing a policy that’s no longer relevant to the law?

THC / cannabis I can understand, that’s still federally illegal, and regulated. CBD however, especially from hemp is federally legal.

Automattic needs to talk to a cannabis lawyer. They’re getting inaccurate legal advice on this one.
