HOWEVER, after looking around, I've found that anyone in the US can get CDB derived from hemp. As you've said, CDB is not psychoactive. It also happens to be present in abundance in hemp. Although we can't grow hemp in the US, anyone here can buy hemp products, including hemp oil.
Here are some links I've found that will be of interest to those interested in CDB. My own path right now is to find a hemp-based product rather than spending the $200+ it takes for a medical marijuana card in my state.

Thanks for posting the links Nilram. When MMJ became legal here, CBD products quickly failed to keep up with the demand as most were going to epileptic children in dire need coming in from other states (Dr. Sanjay Gupta covered this on the CNN documentary 'Weed') so it was only a matter of time until they became available to others.
If you decide to try a hemp based product, look for pure CBD so you can avoid the high that you would get from THC. And avoid smoking it. Smoke of any kind is horrible for the lungs. It is also important to remember that if you try anything that does contains THC, you would likely fail a drug test if that is of any concern to you. That's my advice. I'm not a doctor, just a PN sufferer, very sensitive to medications and desperate for relief.
Here is a YouTube video explaining CBD. Not a huge production budget but some good information direct from a MMJ doctor:
