Hemp Seed Oil is good for a lot of things:

The U.S.
Food Data Central Database has a
branded search feature helps you to find products with hemp in them
in the U.S. and NZ. It is one of the ways I found out about some of
the U.S. oil vendors.
U.S. Food and Drug
Administration wants you to understand what it means when you
see something that states it is FDA approved. They have an FAQ
page.
I'm not linking to these vendors. They are for example purposes
only. I do want to show examples of vendors that can be found
in brick and mortar stores, direct to vendor websites or at third
party vendor websites.
Manitoba Harvest Organic Hemp Seed Oil, has a website for both
U.S. and Canadian customers. The company has both hemp and CBD
products and shipping to all states for the oil. They have recipes
and information about the product.
Nutiva also has a website, but you won’t find HSO under oils but
under seeds. Has a store locator which might help you find it
locally and the do have shipping.
Foods Alive’s website also has a store locator and shipping.
Knwble Grwn Pure Hemp Seed Oil - this is a company or subsidiary
that belong to multinational food corporation ADM aka The
