Spencer said he personally spoke to the business owners on Nov. 30, prior to the store, KBD Naturals, opening on Dec. 1. At that time, he and Beguin say in separate interviews, he advised Beguin of state statute regarding CBD, which Nebraska Attorney General Doug Peterson reinforced with a memorandum to law enforcement on Friday, Nov. 16. In the memorandum, Peterson said it remains illegal to possess, manufacture, distribute or dispense cannabidiol, commonly known as CBD. During the 2015 Nebraska Legislative session, the state allowed two exceptions for CBD in law (LB 390) passed: for use by the University of Nebraska Medical Center for study of the use of CBD oil in the treatment of seizures and for the FDA-approved Epidiolex, an oral solution used for the treatment of seizures associated with two rare and severe forms of epilepsy, Lennox-Gastaut syndrome and Dravet syndrome, in patients 2 years of age and older. Epidiolex is first and currently the only cannabidiol oil solution approved by the FDA.
