The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is planning to regulate the use of the cannabis compound CBD in food and supplements after weighing the evidence on the compound's safety.
The FDA will decide whether regulating legal cannabis will require new agency rules or new legislation from Congress.
Cannabis products, excluding Epidiolex, are illegal at the federal level in the US, although some states allow their use.
According to Patrick Cournoyer, who heads the FDA office developing the agency's cannabis strategy, the FDA will ascertain if CBD can be safely eaten every day for a long period or during pregnancy amid concerns about future fertility.
