Public information and Safety

What is contained or expressed in or on this website may appear to look like marijuana, but rather, it is actually legal hemp flower grown in compliance with the Agricultural Act of 2018. The following link will enlighten you as to the latest updates regarding the legal questions surrounding this industry, https://www.fda.gov/news-events/congressional-testimony/hemp-production-and-2018-farm-bill-07252019 

In December of 2018, the 2018 Farm Bill was signed into law. It removed hemp, defined as cannabis (Cannabis sativa L.) and derivatives of cannabis with extremely low concentrations of the psychoactive compound delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) (no more than 0.3 percent THC on a dry weight basis), from the definition of marijuana in the Controlled Substances Act (CSA).

The 2018 Farm Bill explicitly preserved FDA’s authorities over hemp products. Therefore, hemp products must meet any applicable FDA requirements and standards, just like any other FDA-regulated product. For example, FDA’s existing authorities over foods, dietary supplements, human and veterinary drugs, and cosmetics apply to hemp products to the extent such hemp products fall within those categories. These safeguards help ensure that Americans have access to safe and accurately labeled hemp products, and, in the case of drugs, that patients can depend on the effectiveness of these products.

In late 2018, FDA advanced three hemp seed derived food products through the Agency’s Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) process.¹  Hemp seeds do not naturally contain cannabidiol (CBD) or THC, which are cannabinoid compounds that are found in other parts of the cannabis plant. The hemp seed products – hulled hemp seed, hemp seed protein powder, and hemp seed oil – can be legally used in the U.S. food supply. Any food products made with these hemp seed ingredients are subject to the same FDA requirements as any other food, such as those related to ingredient and nutrition labeling, as well as the risk-based, prevention focused Food Safety Modernization Act (PL 111-353) safeguards.²

Herein (Gold Care Natural Agricultural Products or goldcarecbd.com) offers our brand of legal hemp flower extract high in cannabidiol (CBD, CBDA, etc.) in the United States where specific state regulations allow. Since the 2018 Farm Bill, FDA’s authority over hemp products in the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018 (2018 Farm Bill, PL 115-334). We recognize the substantial potential that hemp has for our nation’s farmers and agriculture sector. FDA’s approach to cannabis and cannabis derived products, including hemp products, is to treat these products just like we do any other. FDA is committed to advancing hemp products through the Agency’s existing regulatory pathways, and we are further exploring whether it would be appropriate to make additional regulatory pathways available to hemp products such as those containing cannabidiol (CBD). FDA believes taking this approach protects patients and the public health, fosters innovation for safe and appropriate products, and promotes consumer confidence. Individual States have continued to expand the deregulation of Hemp and one should consult the unique laws of their State. According to 7 U.S.C. §5940, the term “industrial hemp” means the plant Cannabis Sativa L. and any part of such plant, whether growing or not, with a Delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol (Delta-9 THC) concentration of not more than 0.3% on a dry weight basis. Only the Delta-9 THC level is relevant, not THC-A. The hemp flower used has a Delta-9 THC level on a dry weight basis equal to 0%, well below the 0.3% maximum level, and, therefore, this flower is hemp, not marijuana, and is perfectly legal to possess and sell (check your state regulations). This right applies in any state pursuant to the Full Faith and Credit Clause, Article VI, Section 1 of the Constitution, the Supremacy Clause, Article VI, Section 2 of the Constitution, and the Equal Protection Clause, Section 1 of the Fourteenth Amendment. Any resellers, affiliates, or promoters of Gold Care take no responsibility in the manufacturing, production, and distribution or use of products outside of legal permissions.

The Covid response is one of ongoing concern and attention due to the evolving nature of the reported virus and some of its reported unknown effects which could have consequences for personal health.

To keep our employees and customers safe:

• At least once a day, clean and disinfect surfaces that are frequently touched by multiple people. This includes door handles, desks, phones, light switches, and faucets.
• We have designated a person to rotate throughout the facility to clean and disinfect surfaces.
• Remind our staff to take hand washing seriously and ask they wash their hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. Use soap and water or use hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol which we provide.
• Additional information on how to keep employees safe can be found in the CDC Guidance for Businesses and Employers.

As with any personal health concerns, every individual should seek good counsel and make their own decisions with regard to their own body and health protection decisions.

Thanks and stay safe !!
