cbdMD, Inc. (NYSE American: YCBD) (NYSE American: YCBDpA), one of the nation's leading and most highly trusted and recognized health and wellness companies, presented testimony at the public advisory committee meeting of the Science Board to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) held earlier in June. The Company's V.P. of Science and Regulatory Affairs, Dr. Sibyl Swift, was invited to present testimony related to the safety of the Company's products, and also set forth a sensible approach for the Agency to utilize its current resources to allow hemp extracted cannabinoids to exist as Dietary Supplements. cbdMD welcomed this unique opportunity for the Company to demonstrate its leadership and commitment to providing the highest quality hemp extracted cannabinoid Dietary Supplements as they look to provide a pathway for better product efficacy and industry-wide regulation.

A transcript of the testimony will be available in the coming weeks on the FDA's website under the heading "June 14, 2022 Meeting of the Science Board to the FDA."

"Despite the Agency's preferred approach of sticking its head in the sand and feigning ignorance of the volumes of data available on the safety and efficacy of cannabinoids, we welcomed this opportunity to speak on the issue and shed light on the well established and effective methods the FDA currently has at its disposal to safely and effectively regulate orally consumed hemp extracted cannabinoids as dietary supplements," said Dr. Sibyl Swift. "Along with our extensive safety study dossier and citizens petition filed with the FDA, we believe that continually messaging about the safety of our hemp extracted cannabinoid products, and the methods we use to unequivocally prove their safety, is vital to creating an industry founded on sound scientific principles. We know that hemp extracted cannabinoids are safe, effective, and can change the way we think about daily health and well-being, and these efforts are a solid step in the right direction."
