If it's legal in which ever State they race, they should be allowed to run/advertise the logo.

If it's illegal in that State, just tell them to cover it up.

To strictly not allow them to have sponsorship is straight up bullshit if you ask me.
I would assume a national TV broadcast may cause an issue with this solution.

BS either way.

And back to my point. If CBD is NOT 100% legal across the board...this could leave Feld, AMA, broadcasters open to legal action for promoting an illegal substance. Doesn't matter if you don't like those guys...they gotta cover their 6. Maybe someone that has a connection with DC can get him to chime in with his take on the deal. A legit move or bunch of stupid?

Granted this might be different here and there but I don’t understand that viewpoint.
That would mean anything shown on tv is the responsibility of the broadcaster. What if I suffer PTSD from watching a crash where a rider is badly injured. Can I sue?

It seems fucking ridiculous to me that they’re taking the viewpoint a contractor’s clothing forms part of their promotion and view.

If the product is legal enough to sell without ramification then I don’t see how this could stand up in court. They’d be opening themselves to a counter suit for loss of earnings surely?
Yes, I believe there is expectation that broadcasters will edit/censor their programming or face penalties. If there are a bunch of topless ladies in the stands, NBC can't broadcast that either.

Here is a TV station that was fined $325,000 for accidentally showing a little porn in the background: https://variety.com/2015/biz/news/fcc-slaps-virginia-tv-station-with-32…

You'd be correct IF the product were COMPLETELY legal....for instance an oatmeal cookie. But, CBD is not a product free from legal encumbances....at least in the USA. Hey, how do you have time to worry about this...don't you have some dangerous refugees to strand on a deserted island down there?

I get what you're saying PB , and agree to some extent. I hadn't read the statement on the OP until now , and I see it's mainly for the advertisement of it.....not the use of it. The use of it is something I'm 100% for , if a person thinks he needs it , and it's not on a banned list , or has his TUE in order if it is.

I was only speaking from a legality standpoint. IDGAF about personal use or viewpoints. My whole point is that the new rule concerning denying CBD sponsorship is a valid point/stance for AMA and Feld.

They aren't doing anything different than any other sport does.
Why does everyone think the AMA or Feld or FIM or whoever have something against riders?
They arent going to break laws for some rider.

Yeah I totally get that stand point. My main point I was trying to make in my first reply , was that the real culprit's behind CBD's not being able to be advertised , all comes from big pharma. Big pharma is scared shitless with what kind of damage CBD oil can do to their income. Chase it all the way to the top.......and that's exactly what it is. Pressure from big pharma , with a big boot on the neck of politician's. Their livelihood depends on it. CBD obviously doesn't help / cure everything out there , but it sure does help a lot of people who swear by it , and a lot of those people don't buy pills any more. I do have a feeling , that the future will be very different. In fact just in the past 5 years , it's changed dramatically.

100% agree with you bud. I truly believe that if you found a cure for cancer you'd die in a tragic accident or take the money to toss it in the bin. I'm a pretty sceptical SOB.

Nope! Illegal on Federal level


https://www.texasnorml.org/cbd-oil-in-tx/

"There are many claims that CBD oil is legal in all 50 states. However, the DEA has come out and stated that marijuana and it’s extracts and concentrates are all schedule 1 drugs. The Controlled Substance Act states, “The term ‘marihuana’ means all parts of the plant Cannabis sativa L., whether growing or not; the seeds thereof; the resin extracted from any part of such plant; and every compound, manufacture, salt, derivative, mixture, or preparation of such plant, its seeds or resin.” The DEA has gone on to clarify that “For practical purposes, all extracts that contain CBD will also contain at least small amounts of other cannabinoids. Although it might be theoretically possible to produce a CBD extract that contains absolutely no amounts of other cannabinoids, the DEA is not aware of any industrially-utilized methods that have achieved this result.”

This means that CBD oils are still considered a schedule 1 drug and therefore not legal for sale in Texas. While there does not currently seem to be a massive number of arrests or raids in Texas, there are reports of raids and citizens facing serious time in jail for possession of the extract oil. Proceed with caution, Texans!

Really this is a totally different topic but it's just insane to me that marijuana is a schedule 1 drug. Schedule 1 drugs are the most dangerous drugs of all the drug schedules as defined by the fed gov. Cocaine and Fentanyl are schedule 2. Blows my mind. Meanwhile nicotine and alcohol aren't even considered drugs although they have severely high potential for abuse, impaired judgement, and psychological or physical dependence.
The Hardest thing ive ever tried to quit is Cigarettes, i did quit but damn it was hard i craved them so bad , if i had to choose between food a cigarette there would be no question, i have an addictive personality and i was pretty much an alcoholic at 1 time but even quitting that was easy compared to Cigarettes, they are up to $9 dollars a pack here in Minnesota so between that and really really wanting to quit i did its been 1 year but they are up there with crack and heroin on the addiction level!
This CBD is such a grey area i cant say i blame Feld on this one , even though its a bummer , i think Reed and Deano and anyone else could use some social media anddo some creative ideas to still benefit the sponsors without having a logo on the bike or themselves though!

Kudos to you brother. I'm still smoking but cut way back. Everybody says, "why don't you quit?" My answer is, "cause it keeps me from killing you." I'm joking of course but it does calm me down.

Just speculating, but I guess it’s safe to say Monster Energy isn’t working on a CBD infused energy drink. Or if they are, this rule will soon have an exemption just for the series sponsor. #somuchdumb

I'm far too lazy to look up which states haven't legalized CBD but it would only take one lawsuit from John Q. Public accusing Feld or the series for promoting "illegal" products...so I understand them covering their backsides. This may not be their whole reason for the new rule but sounds legit.

I bet old DC could give us an opinion since this will most likely pop up again this summer (looks like this ruling is SX specific).

That would mean anything shown on tv is the responsibility of the broadcaster. What if I suffer PTSD from watching a crash where a rider is badly injured. Can I sue?

It seems fucking ridiculous to me that they’re taking the viewpoint a contractor’s clothing forms part of their promotion and view.

If the product is legal enough to sell without ramification then I don’t see how this could stand up in court. They’d be opening themselves to a counter suit for loss of earnings surely?

It just seems like a weird standpoint to say anything you see on our broadcast we’re responsible for and the potential impact to our viewers means we need to neuter a sponsor.. News and murder? Rape? Drugs? Border control? Natural disasters? Some illegal. Some horrible. Some life. None of it do I assume the broadcaster has any responsibility for.

It just seems like the typical left censorship of anything that offends, which is a dangerously stupid compass to live by. Bad things aren't bad to talk about, in fact, discussion of anything controversial only leads to better understanding of potential pitfalls... whether that's politics, substances, standpoints or events.

I can at least understand the negative association with Dean’s sponsor given they flat out sell Weed but even without full legal indemnity surely no-one thinks cbd is bad? Alcohol still sponsors sports and everyone knows how bad that is for people.

As for refugees... I don’t have anything nice to say here so I won’t. It’s bad all around.

The schedule 1 category has I think some historical roots that are quite obsolete nowadays. I saw a few documentaries on racism in the US in the 20th century and how the power in place tried to keep americano africans away from good jobs, education, voting rights and so on by "criminalizing" them as many were weed smokers and not alcohol drinkers. And of course the second reason is lobbying, the ones who pay get less troubles ... 50 years later Obama became President so the mentalities have fortunately changed. So the thc and cbd statuses are also evolving at a fast pace. I just hope it gets quick enough so the sponsorship money stays in the sport, the more the better for the riders.

Just imagine if a huge CBD company steps up and drop 1 million to become one of the series title sponsors to pay for the lime incident, that would be fun !
Would you imagine 5 million to sponsor and was turned down? Sounds like puppet masters are pulling strings that no one can see. It's time for the teams to get together or at minimum the athletes to form a collective union or all of them need to just shut their yap. Funny how this wasn't forseen by the brain trust at the AMA. Maybe they need to start taking some CBD oil because they've got to be smoking something to come up with this knee jerk reaction. Cough, Cough. Angry

Nothing like going out trail/freeriding with your dad, some friends, with a couple joints and some post-riding CBD drops if you pull something or get hurt. I couldnt imagine having to deal with the extreme injuries, pain, and lack of realistic resolutions to pain like these pros do. It's a complete farce to sports in general that athletes aren't allowed realistic medication to their extreme injuries. I'm not going to say that "CBD and THC cures cancer" because it absolutely does NOT "cure" cancer, but it's (one of) the best pain relievers we have out there. There very well may a conspiracy against it via big pharma, and people are wising up to it. There's a rea$on why thi$ $tuff i$nt a major $pon$or.

Actually, across that border is one of the few places that is not in the dark ages.

I meant the other side, lol. I'm sure Canada is a nice place too.

Kudos to you brother. I'm still smoking but cut way back. Everybody says, "why don't you quit?" My answer is, "cause it keeps me from killing you." I'm joking of course but it does calm me down.
It doesn’t calm you down at all.

What it actually does is get rid of the craving to smoke. The cravings to smoke start as soon as you put out a fag. Cravings make you irritable and stressed. The thing you say makes you calm is actually the thing that is making you angry.

I guess it’s true what they say though, nothing worse that an ex-smoker.

Where does it end....

Interesting gear/clothing/etc the riders wear ...none of that was made irresponsibly (ie. sweatshop) I hope? Wouldn't want to promote something like that, very disturbing

Supercross itself is in all likelihood responsible for more ill health/injuries than CBD products (or THC for that matter). Should we really be televising something that can cause serious injury and distress?

I don't know too much about all this cbd business but weed is pretty cool.

It just seems like a weird standpoint to say anything you see on our broadcast we’re responsible for and the potential impact to our viewers means we need to neuter a sponsor.. News and murder? Rape? Drugs? Border control? Natural disasters? Some illegal. Some horrible. Some life. None of it do I assume the broadcaster has any responsibility for.

It just seems like the typical left censorship of anything that offends, which is a dangerously stupid compass to live by. Bad things aren't bad to talk about, in fact, discussion of anything controversial only leads to better understanding of potential pitfalls... whether that's politics, substances, standpoints or events.

I can at least understand the negative association with Dean’s sponsor given they flat out sell Weed but even without full legal indemnity surely no-one thinks cbd is bad? Alcohol still sponsors sports and everyone knows how bad that is for people.

As for refugees... I don’t have anything nice to say here so I won’t. It’s bad all around.
I was being dickish with the refugee comment...sorry mate.

I have no idea if Feld/AMA are just using a convenient excuse to deny CBD sponsorship or if they have been told by counsel that allowing a rider to publicly use the broadcast platform to endorse/promote a product that isn't totally "legal". That's why I wanted to hear from DC. This will be an issue for MX soon so whichever direction he goes will probably answer the question about Felds motives.

Personally, I don't give two shits about pot or CBD. If I needed it I'd have a different opinion. Also, I'm so old and cynical that advertising/endorsements are my key to avoid products/services.

100% correct on all points. It's a stupid nasty addiction/habit.

I wouldn't be surprised to see a re-scheduling of thc and cbd the next time there is a change in the executive branch, since it seems political gloves have fully come off in this country, but that's a different issue. If that did happen there is a ton of potential in the deomgraphics of supercross.
