The Indiana Attorney General’s Office is releasing a legal opinion saying that CBD oil is illegal in the state of Indiana and there is no right for consumers to use it.

The advisory opinion follows a recent controversy where excise police had confiscated CBD from an Indianapolis health store, arguing it was illegal since it was a marijuana derivative.

Hill’s office says CBD is only allowed under a narrow provision of state law, i.e. children with a particular strain of epilepsy, otherwise it is illegal under both state and federal law.  And even then it is only an affirmative defense to possession.

Indy Politics spoke with Curtis Hill about the opinion.  You can hear him in the Leon-Tailored Audio above.

It runs approximately nine minutes.
