CBD blurs the regulatory line between drugs and supplements, testing how much the government can police health claims
But clear standards could take years to materialize. The agency for now is taking a whack-a-mole approach toward the most questionable medical claims, cracking down on individual manufacturers that say their CBD products "kill cancer cells," provide "an attractive alternative" to Alzheimer's disease treatments or help control blood sugar in diabetics.
"A lot is going wrong now," said Peter Pitts, another former associate FDA commissioner and co-founder of the Center for Medicine in the Public Interest, a libertarian-funded medical research nonprofit. Gottlieb, who's leaving the agency in two weeks, has steered clear of committing to a specific path for CBD, saying the agency is assembling a high-level advisory group and planning a public meeting in April to air some of the biggest regulatory questions. He also laid out one potential option: to consign products with high-doses or pure CBD to the drug approval process and allow lower-dose items to be treated as dietary supplements that can bought off the shelf.
