CBD University Podcast Featuring Rod Kight

In this episode of the CBD University Podcast, host Joe Agostinelli speaks with cannabis attorney Rod Kight about the launch of the American Journal of Endocannabinoid Medicine and the evolving legal and regulatory landscape surrounding CBD and cannabis products.

Rod explains the mission behind the journal, which was created to provide credible, peer-reviewed medical and legal research related to cannabis and the endocannabinoid system. The discussion covers the importance of reliable scientific studies as the FDA continues developing regulations for CBD products and the broader cannabis industry.

The conversation also explores how cannabis research has historically been limited in the United States due to federal restrictions, while interest in hemp-derived CBD products has rapidly expanded following changes in federal hemp law.

Additional topics include:

• The FDA’s evolving approach to CBD regulation

• The growth and consolidation of the hemp and CBD industry
• The global expansion of CBD markets
• The intersection of cannabis law, medicine, and scientific research

Rod also discusses his cannabis law blog, where he publishes legal analysis and commentary on emerging hemp, CBD, and cannabis issues.
