What is the military’s policy on CBD oil?

I’ve been looking online and haven’t found much. I’m not interested in using it myself but I know it’s gaining a lot of popularity in our society now.

Popularity doesn't mean squat. It shows up on the whiz quiz and you are toast. Also what does the Federal Law/UCMJ say?

Anything cannabis or hemp is not allowed. I remember a few years ago when Washington had Jones Hemp soda. No THC or drugs in it. The Army made a big deal to point out that SM s are not authorized to drink it.

AR 600-85 covers the Army Substance Abuse Program, it probably wont say anything about CDB oil. Check with the ASAP office on your post. I'm not sure if all posts have made stance on it yet but I know fort bragg has a policy letter out banning it due to Soldiers being sent to hospital for use.
I dont recommend risking it, but if you do make sure it does not have THC in it or you will pop hot.

Because it works. It helps with back pain, insomnia, anxiety. No side effects. It's better than a bunch of pills that are toxic.
