Well we can agree to disagree I guess 
What you are saying is true in Kentucky. I am from Kentucky. It is not true, ATM, in Tennessee.
Everything in the interim ruling from the USDA stands
You’re right. The IFR stands although USDA announced Thursday a willingness to bend on sampling window and methodology, dea certification of labs, and remediation. We’ll see if that means anything. In the meantime, states under the 2014 program are not required to follow the IFR until October 31.

Oregon is changing how they test for THC in hemp:
(8) For testing done prior to January 1, 2020, a sample fails testing if the test report indicates that the sample contains THC of 0.35 percent or greater on a dry weight basis. If a sample from a harvest lot fails required THC testing under these rules the harvest lot fails required THC testing.
(9) For testing done on and after January 1, 2020, a sample fails testing if the test report indicates that the sample contains total THC content calculated in accordance with OAR 333-064-0100(4) of 0.35 percent or greater on a dry weight basis. If a sample from a harvest lot fails required THC testing under these rules the harvest lot fails required THC testing.
The difference is sampling “THC” versus “total THC”.
- “THC” means tetrahydrocannabinol and has the same Chemical Abstracts Service Number as delta-9 THC.
- “THCA” means tetrahydrocannabinolic acid, Chemical Abstracts Service Number 23978-85-0.
- “Total THC” means the molar sum of THC and THCA.
Now they will not be testing for “THC” only but for a combination of THC and THCa, for a “Total THC”.
Total THC must be calculated as follows, where M is the mass or mass fraction of delta-9 THC or delta-9 THCA:
M total delta-9 THC = M delta-9 THC + 0.877 x M delta-9 THCA.

The reprieve on Delta 9 feels like a hollow victory in a year when there is an absolute tsunami of product anyway. Don’t see it evening out by October.

Let me know when you’ve got the SOP for hemp derived THCa isolate, lol.
The real question is this…
What if I make a 4 oz brownie dosed with .29% THC?
That would give me over 320mg of THC! Sounds good and legal to me.

I mean yeah you can chug compliant tinctures too until you get high but all that mct might lube yah up a bit you wouldn’t need a hemp derived sop according to the people above. If everything under .3 is legal than thca isolate is legal and therefore you should be able to buy it online, be in possession of, buy/sell etc
I live in TN but born in raised in ky an go often I feel like these 2 states has so much untapped potential
All laws clearly state THCA x .88 = THC Content. I’m assuming that is a direct d9 conversion the laws are assuming as well.

I think you might be misinformed. If you refer to part 7 of the Minnesota hemp pilot program acknowlegements that were distributed to all hemp pilot program participants in 2020; it reads “the definition of hemp is: the plant cannabis sativa whether growing or not, containing not more than .3% delta 9 thc POST DECARBOXYLATION.” Please correct me if i am wrong.
