A CBD business owner in Ankeny was arrested at her business, “Your CBD Store” Wednesday after she allegedly sold cannabidiol (CBD) while unlicensed by the state of Iowa.  Lacie Navin, 33, of Des Moines, was arrested around 1:40 p.m. by Ankeny police after a complaint was made to Polk County authorities and undercover officers allegedly purchased CBD products, including lotion and gummies.  Navin is charged with two counts of controlled substance violation and unlawful substance tax requirement.

Despite passage of the 2018 federal Farm Bill and the Iowa Hemp Act, the sale and possession of CBD is still illegal in Iowa unless the same is authorized by Medical  Cannabidiol Act.
