But millions of people using cannabidiol, or CBD products, can\u2019t be quite as confidant.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe don\u2019t want our friends and neighbors taking CBD that isn\u2019t pure, and we don\u2019t want them getting ripped off spending their dollars on a product that has virtually no CBD in it,\u201d said Chris Lackner, director of public affairs for Mile High Labs.<\/p>\n<p>The Boulder-based company manufacturers CBD isolate, which is then used in other products. Mile High Labs was among over a hundred speakers at the FDA\u2019s first ever hearing on CBD on May 31, as the agency looks to regulate the industry.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe need to get regulations in place now to make sure that ideas of quality, consistency and purity are in the marketplace now,\u201d Lackner said.<\/p>\n<p>By some estimates, CBD will grow to a $22-billion industry in the coming years. Companies like Mile High Labs employ thousands of people. Hemp is becoming a popular crop for Colorado farmers. CBD sales have gone mainstream.
