An Idaho businessman named Kurt Wilson is worried that the government is aiming to prevent him from selling CBD oil, one of the most popular health products in his store. CBD oil is extracted from the same marijuana plant as THC, but it does not get people high. Wilson’s customers say they have seen great results while using the oil. “There’s over 6,000 years of recorded history of this oil being used, it’s a plant,” Wilson stated. Marijuana is still illegal in Idaho.
Wilson’s business is named Survival Enterprises. His clients are people who want to live an independent style of life. One of the products in his store is CBD oil (Cannabidiol). “This stuff helps them not to be nauseous after chemotherapy, and they don’t have to get goofy by smoking dope or anything like that,” Wilson stated.
Most CBD oils contain less than 1% of THC. Wilson said because of that 1% it is illegal to sell. Wilson stated, “I can give you a gallon of it to drink, and it’s just going to mellow you out a little bit and that’s it, so there’s no drug involved there in any way, shape, or form.” He sells between 30 and 40 bottles a month but it is technically considered a controlled substance by federal standards.
Wilson said his clients do not want to get their medicine from big pharmaceutical companies. They prefer a more natural approach with CBD oil. “What’s occurring here is that, again, we don’t have government, we have corporate representatives. And the corporations have told government we can’t really have competition,” Wilson stated.
Cannabidiol is in a bit of a gray area In Idaho. Wilson said Governor Butch Otter vetoed a bill in 2015 that would have allowed parents to treat their epileptic children with CBD. However, Otter issues an order to research the effectiveness of the oil. Even though it is still illegal, Wilson said it is just the byproduct of a plant.
