Dr. Oz Pushes to Protect Senior CBD Access | TDR Cannabis in 5

CBD policy in Washington is still very much alive. In this episode of TDR Cannabis in 5, host Shadd Dales breaks down reporting from Marijuana Moment showing CMS Administrator Dr. Oz personally urged senators to delay the hemp-THC ban so seniors wouldn’t lose access to CBD products while Medicare and Medicaid finalize coverage decisions.Oz’s letter wasn’t about intoxicating hemp products, gummies, drinks, or vapes, it was specifically about protecting CBD access for seniors who rely on it for pain, sleep, inflammation, and mobility while the federal CBD Pilot Program works through Medicare coverage. And based on this past weekend’s Senate action, it looks like Washington is moving in exactly that direction, the hemp-THC ban has been pushed to December 11 in the Senate’s funding bill, aligning with what Oz asked for.Shadd walks through why this matters beyond just the delay itself, it’s confirmation that the CBD Pilot Program is still active and still a federal priority, even after months of silence on it. He also gets into the growing GOP divide over hemp policy, one camp wanting the ban enforced immediately, the other pushing for a real regulatory framework, and how Oz’s intervention adds a new healthcare angle to a debate that was already getting more contentious by the week.A closer look at how CBD, Medicare, and hemp policy are all colliding in Washington right now.Podcast Disclaimer (Financial Interests)The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of any company, organization, or employer.
