Oregon is now the West Coast's CBD shopping destination.

As of Aug. 1, Oregon is the only state along the Pacific where consumers can buy CBD from grocery stores. New rules in Washington state prohibit CBD-infused food and beverages from being sold outside of licensed dispensaries.

Washington joined California in restricting the sale of CBD products in order to comply with U.S. Food and Drug Administration regulations. Although the Farm Bill, which passed Congress in 2018, legalized the production and sale of hemp-derived CBD, the FDA has not certified CBD as a legal food product. (The agency is currently testing CBD as a legal food and drink additive and is expected to release findings later this year.)

Oregon is a holdout. According to Sunny Summers, spokeswoman for the Oregon Department of Agriculture, "current state law says that hemp is not to be considered an adulterant in food"—meaning Oregon law doesn't restrict hemp-derived CBD from being added to food and drinks sold outside of dispensaries.

Summers says banning CBD from grocery shelves would require action by the Legislature, and she is "not aware of any conversations to change that."
