DoD Policies—for now
The Department of Defense (DoD) has issued policies that prohibit the use of marijuana and all other federally controlled substances, including CBD. This means that even though hemp-derived CBD is legal at a federal level, it is still not allowed to be used by members of the military.
In addition, drug tests conducted by the military do not differentiate between THC and CBD. This means that even if a product is labeled as containing less than 0.3% THC, there is still a risk of testing positive for THC and potentially facing disciplinary action.
