FBI policies on CBD oil use by all its employees are now being reconsidered, the bureau said on a Twitter Q&A on Tuesday. While employees are banned from using marijuana and applicants could be disqualified for ingesting it in recent years, it appears the FBI is receptive to loosening restrictions on CBD, which is now more widely available after being legalized under the 2018 Farm Bill.
One Twitter user wanted to know why the bureau says, “you cannot use marijuana within 3 years of applying, even with a medical card/prescription.”
“The policy regarding CBD oil is currently under review,” the FBI answered. “Check the other eligibility requirements.”
We’re thrilled to see some compassion regarding CBD use coming from the government, but this is all too rare.
