In today's call-in show, we talked CBD in Hawaii. What is it? And why do you see it advertised and for sale everywhere? It's in oils, food, lotions and creams, even though the state Department of Health says state law prohibits it in cosmetics.

The compound is found in hemp and marijuana, but it doesn't get you high. Across the country, state and federal regulators seem to be at odds about whether CBD is safe or legal. 

Our guests today are:

  • Greg Edwards, Supervisor, Hawaii Department of Health, Food and Drug Branch
  • Me Fuimaono-Poe, Family Nurse Practitioner at Malie Cannabis Clinic
