Competition Bulletin 2019-5: Pro Motocross CBD Product Policy
TO: 2019 Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Competitors and Crew Members

RE: COMPETITION BULLETIN 2019-5: Pro Motocross CBD Product Policy
The issue has arisen with regard to the efficacy of CBD Product sponsorship of riders and/or teams associated with the Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship. Currently CBD product sale, use, advertising and promotion is governed by both state and federal regulation, on a state-by-state basis. In December, the 2018 Farm Bill legalized cannabidiol (CBD) products derived exclusively from hemp, a member of the cannabis plant family that does not contain more than 0.3 percent of THC (the compound most commonly associated with the psychoactive effects of "getting high"). The condition for this deregulation is that the hemp be produced by a licensed grower in a manner consistent with Farm Bill guidelines and associated federal and state regulations. All other CBD products, produced in any other manner, remain a prohibited Schedule I substance under federal criminal law and thus remain illegal.
Although some states legalize all CBD-related products, most states have not. Hence, despite the change in federal law, current broadcast network standards and practices continue to prohibit the in-broadcast advertising or promotion of all CBD products.
Accordingly, until further notice, the signage and promotion of all CBD products on or by riders, team members or their machines remains prohibited. Riders and team members are prohibited from having CBD-related logos or other promotional displays on their person, uniform, gear or motorcycle, or on any other item that may appear in-broadcast. No in-broadcast visual or verbal mention of CBD-related products will be permitted.
This restriction, however, does not prohibit riders and teams from securing hemp-derived CBD Product sponsors, so long as the aforesaid in-broadcast regulations are complied with. Riders are free to obtain hemp-derived CBD Product sponsors only and may display their logos on their team rigs or in their display areas, make mentions in off-air interviews, and otherwise promote their sponsor. All other CBD Products remain restricted and may not be promoted. The intent of this policy is to prohibit the in-broadcast signage or promotion of CBD Products only - not to limit or restrict riders from obtaining legal hemp-derived CBD Product sponsorship.
Riders will be required to cover or remove any logo or image in violation of this policy. Failure to comply will result in removal of the rider and/or team member from the race program. In addition, sanctions may be applied pursuant to the AMA Pro Racing Rules for Professional Motocross Competition for any willful or reckless violation of this policy.
MX Sports Pro Racing understands that this policy differs from that recently issued by AMA for Supercross application and urges riders and teams to make themselves aware of the distinction between the two policies.
Riders and teams are responsible for seeking their own legal counsel with regard to their association with CBD products and promotions, and MX Sports Pro Racing makes no legal representations with regard the legality of same.

“We recognize that there is an opportunity for growth in the sport of motocross within the cannabidiol space. Since it is not included on the USADA banned substance list many of our competitors use it as a recovery supplement, so it is only natural that these products and the companies that make them would have interest in investing sponsorship dollars into a team, or individually with a rider. We fully support opportunities like this that benefit our competitors, and while federal regulations are still fluid in regards to the legality of CBD products as a whole, we believe we have provided a much-needed compromise for hemp-derived CBD products and companies to support the sport.”
From a legal standpoint it makes sense. Not all states have legalized CBD, and since the racing will be broadcasted nationally, advertising CBD in non legal states will be an issue.
From personal experience, CBD is great for recovery after a hard workout or hard ride day. I personally feel less sore over the following days after taking CBD after a ride.
I’ve never tried either.

I’m just gonna introduce two wild and outlandish ideas here that are sure to create controversy with anyone and everyone.
1. If you don’t like seeing gay people on tv, don’t watch the show.
2. If you don’t like seeing CBD products advertised on tv, don’t watch the races.
Crazy I know, but figured I would throw it out there. How fucking hard is it for people to do the one thing that takes absolutely zero effort, costs nothing, and takes no time at all. . . its called minding your own business.
It's like drinking water after taking everything orange out of it. It's no longer orange juice or has any use.
That's why kids can buy it. It's the new Mona Vie fad.
It's used for relaxation and pain medication and it helps with seizures. I actually give my dog pet specific CBD oil for his seizures and since starting it. He's only had one at the beginning of starting it and it was much more milder than they have been in the past and hasn't had anymore since.
I've used CBD in the vape form pure CBD with no thc. It works good after a day of riding few goodvape hits and just chill.
So guess what? You get to pay for others fuck ups too.

Just watch. Too many companies selling stuff not meeting label claims.
On top of that, if you're sponsored by a CBD place, don't be surprised if the Usada people are at your door more often.
Look at other sports and people getting popped. Guys getting tested 12-48 times times a year. They got alot of them too.
Thats at least once a month and twice a month for yearsfor some, and when its piss and blood, that's 48 times tests per year, for 1 guy.
If you don't like the tv show stop watching it. Does it REALLY offend you if you see a tv show that has a gay couple? Who gives a shit. Not me.
Just like breast feeding. If it is done discreetly and mostly covered I don't give a damn. I am not a pervert and seeing half a titty isn't going to get me fired up and make me rape someone. Jeebus.
