DES MOINES, Iowa — Iowa Attorney General Tom Miller's office released guidance Monday on the state's hemp and CBD laws.

Demand is driving more stores to sell CBD products, but Miller said very few of those products are legal under Iowa law.

"Any product containing cannabidiol is currently classified as a Schedule I controlled substance under Iowa law and is, thus, illegal," Miller said in a news release.
