Here's a good article on the subject from March 14, 2017
DEA Clarifies Marijuana Extract Rule and CBD Legality
http://kightoncannabis.com/dea-clarifies-mari...-legality/
An excerpt from the article:
Today, the DEA backed off of its position somewhat. Importantly, it acknowledged that CBD is legal if it comes from a part of the cannabis plant that is itself legal, such as the mature stalk of the cannabis plant, which is excluded from the CSA’s definition of marijuana. In other words, the DEA finally admitted that CBD is not illegal in and of itself; rather, it is legal (or not) based on its source. I’ve been preaching this for a long time, but I have to admit that it’s strange to be validated in the form of an an official DEA clarification!
Here’s what the DEA said : “The new drug code (7350) established in [the Rule] does not include materials or products that are excluded from the definition of marijuana set forth in the Controlled Substances Act (CSA). The new drug code includes only those extracts that fall within the CSA definition of marijuana. If a product consisted solely of parts of the cannabis plant excluded from the CSA definition of marijuana, such product would not be included in the new drug code (7350) or in the drug code for marijuana (7360).”

As many of you are aware, on December 14, 2016 the DEA implemented a rule regarding CBD and marijuana extract called the “Final Rule establishing a new Controlled Substance Code Number (drug code) for marijuana extract” (the Rule).
