Each of the states in the USA may have a different regulatory board for the use of CBD and marijuana products. You may come across several articles online that CBD is legal and safe to use in all the 50 states in the USA. But, that is absolutely not true by any means.

Each of the states also has to submit their own hemp growing program to the USDA or the United States Department of Agriculture. So, as a result, the rules that are present in Utah are not the same as the ones in Los Angeles.
