CBD - short for canabidiol, is derived from industrially certified hemp. It is legal to buy, sell and consume openly in the territory. Hemp is classified as any natural plant that contains a high concentration of cannabidiol, with no more than 0.3% THC content. CBD is sold in various forms, such as gummies, throughout the territory.
The DLCA aid other government agencies were invited to speak about the growing industry in the V.I. The Department said it “looks forward to an educated, robust discussion” at the town halls. Consumers or merchants with questions may contact the DLCA Commissioner’s office at 340-713-3522.
