The Food and Drug Administration is set to take its first step Friday toward regulating cannabidiol, or CBD.

The CBD product craze — with its myriad oils, capsules, gummies, lotions and potions — has exploded into a frenzy never before seen in the supplement industry.

On Friday, the FDA will hold its first public hearing on cannabis and cannabis-derived compounds, the most popular of which is CBD.
