A Notable Federal Development

On December 18, President Trump delivered an Oval Office announcement outlining upcoming federal actions related to cannabinoid policy. During the announcement, the administration recognized the medical utility of cannabinoid-based products and shared an intent to expand access for seniors.

The announcement included a proposed $500 annual credit for seniors who use CBD products, pending implementation details and agency guidance.

While additional information is still forthcoming, this moment represents a meaningful shift in how CBD is being discussed at the federal level—particularly in the context of aging populations and wellness support.

What This Means for Basic Jane

We are closely monitoring agency guidance to understand how products may qualify under future federal programs.

At this time, we can share that:

• Basic Jane products are manufactured in compliance with applicable state laws
  
• All products are third-party tested for quality and consistency
  
• These two criteria—lawful manufacturing and testing—were specifically referenced during the initial press conference
  

As federal agencies release additional rules and clarifications, we will evaluate next steps and keep our community informed every step of the way.

Why So Many Seniors Turn to CBD

For millions of seniors, staying active and comfortable is key to maintaining independence and quality of life. Over the past several years, CBD has become a trusted part of many seniors’ wellness routines, particularly for everyday aches, joint discomfort, and recovery after activity.

Recent surveys estimate that approximately 15% of seniors now use CBD products as part of their wellness regimen—often seeking plant-based alternatives that fit into a broader, non-intoxicating lifestyle approach.

At Basic Jane, seniors are at the heart of why we exist. More than 60% of our customers are over the age of 55, and their feedback continues to shape how we formulate, test, and manufacture our products.

Our Commitment to Seniors

Basic Jane began with a simple goal: to create thoughtfully formulated, science-informed CBD products that people—especially seniors—can trust. That commitment hasn’t changed.

As policy evolves, we will continue to advocate for safe access, transparency, and evidence-based regulation that reflects how CBD is already being used responsibly by millions of Americans.

We’ll share updates as soon as new information becomes available.
