What Changed for CBD in 2026

Understanding the New CBD Laws

The world of cannabidiol (CBD) has changed recently, and many of us are hearing headlines about “new CBD regulations.” If you’re unfamiliar with the terminology, don’t worry—this short guide will break it down in plain language and explain why the newest rules don’t affect the Ultra Premium CBD products you already trust.


1. What the New Laws Cover

Starting this year, federal and several state agencies tightened the definition of “cannabis‑derived products.” The key points are:

  • THC Limits: Products containing more than 0.3 % tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) – the psychoactive component that produces a “high” – are now classified as controlled substances.
  • Labeling Requirements: Manufacturers must list the exact THC content on every bottle and include a warning that the product is not intended for medical diagnosis or treatment.
  • Age Restrictions: Sales to anyone under 21 are prohibited, and retailers must verify age at the point of purchase.

These changes aim to protect consumers from unintentionally consuming intoxicating cannabis, while still allowing legitimate hemp‑derived CBD to remain on the market.


2. Why Ultra Premium CBD Is Still Safe to Use

Ultra Premium CBD products have always been formulated to be non‑intoxicating and THC‑free. Here’s why the new regulations don’t affect them:

  • Zero THC: Our manufacturing process removes THC entirely, leaving a product that contains no detectable THC—well below the 0.3 % threshold.
  • Pure Hemp Source: We source only industrial hemp, which is legally defined as a plant with less than 0.3 % THC from the start.
  • Third‑Party Testing: Every batch is tested by independent labs, and the results (showing 0 % THC) are posted on the label and our website for full transparency.

Because Ultra Premium CBD meets the strict “THC‑free” criteria, it remains fully compliant and continues to be sold without any additional restrictions.


3. What This Means for You

  • Continue Using Ultra Premium CBD: You can keep taking the same product you’ve trusted for its calming and wellness benefits.
  • Check Labels on Other Brands: If you explore other CBD options, look for a clear statement that the product is THC‑free and review the lab report.

4. Quick Tips for Seniors New to CBD

  1. Start Low, Go Slow: Begin with a small dose (e.g., 5–10 mg) and observe how you feel before increasing.
  2. Consult Your Doctor: Especially if you take prescription medications, discuss CBD use with your healthcare provider.
  3. Stay Informed: Regulations can evolve, so keep an eye on reputable news sources or the manufacturer’s updates.

Bottom Line

The recent (November 2025) CBD law changes were enacted to protect consumers who are looking only for CBD wellness products from accidently purchasing a product that could alter their state of mind.

In our professional opinion, this is a good piece of legislation.  THC and other psychoactive cannabinoids have their place in medicine, and have proven benefits for many conditions.  However, having CBD products on the market that can also have psychoactive effects is very confusing for consumers, and "scares away" people who know that CBD is beneficial, but don't want to risk accidently consuming something that will alter their state of mind.

Ultra Premium CBD, being completely THC‑free and non‑intoxicating, is unaffected and remains a safe, legal option for those seeking the gentle benefits of hemp-derived, THC-free cannabinoids.

Feel confident in your choice, stay informed, and enjoy the peace of mind that comes with a product designed specifically for wellness.
