I wonder if im gonna get paid? Maybe I should have patented and trademarked that name

I guess me and @kcalabs already have an award. Maybe I should make a fake certificate like half of these extractor classes?

Officials with the Onslow County Sheriff’s Department say that the investigation focuses on the illicit trade of controlled substances, vaping paraphernalia, and tobacco products emanating from local “vape shops.” With over 70 establishments being investigated, this ongoing operation signals a concerted effort to uphold public safety.

Louisiana Senate Bill 237 would prohibit consumable hemp products from containing any THC at all, eliminating hemp-derived drinks and THC gummies and snacks.
The bill passed the Senate Agriculture Committee in March and now heads to the full Senate. If signed into law, it will take effect August 1, 2024.

D8 preliminary injunction denied because of thco content

Yeah, but the court apparently believes delta-8 is directly extracted from hemp…

This process begins by extracting Delta-8 THC from hemp. The acetic anhydride is then combined with Delta-8 molecules to create THCO.

Because “hemp” as defined by the 2018 Farm Act is limited to “materials derived from the plant Cannabis sativa L,” the addition of a chemical whose origins are not found in the Cannabis sativa L plant, may disqualify THCO as well as any substances containing it, from the definition of “hemp” as defined in the 2018 Farm Act. This is because THCO, unlike delta-8 THC, apparently does not derive from the Cannabis sativa L plant, but rather is synthetically sourced.

might make the iso-THCs problematic as well, not to mention the weird unqualified byproducts
