I think you wanted me to specify THC?
Marijuana does not = Cannabis?
maybe you are from another country without fancy name for THC? In the USAā¦
cannabis = marijuana AND hemp
marijuana = THC over 0.3% total
hemp = THC under 0.3% total
(not withstanding state specific laws regarding D9 vs total)

You canāt ration with this guy, he will just copy and post FDA regulations.
What national billion dollar industry elephant that exists in the room?
The FDA regulates FOOD and DRUGS. Nothing else. You donāt know what you are talking about and Iāll end it there because I could care less what YOU THINK the laws are.

If youāre really trying to get technical, CBD extracted from āMarijuanaā is still illegal federally, thusā¦ CBD = Illegal!!
Alsoā¦ none of those are correct definitions. Hemp / Cannabis is the plant, Marijuana is the resinous buds.

friend, you said āCannabis is still federally illegal. Schedule 1.ā
I respectfully dispute that with 100% of my beingā¦
CBD extracted from marijuana is still marijuana.
CBD extracted from hemp is still hemp.
and thereforeā¦ marijuana and hemp are not the same.
and thereforeā¦ marijuana is a controlled schedule 1
and thereforeā¦ hemp is not a controlled substance
and in response to your recent edit: āAlsoā¦ none of those are correct definitions. Hemp / Cannabis is the plant, Marijuana is the resinous buds.ā
It bears emphasis that this rule does not alter Federal law with regard to the definition of hemp or marihuana. As stated above, the 2018 Farm Bill defines hemp as the plant species Cannabis sativa L. and any part of that plant, including the seeds thereof and all derivatives, extracts, cannabinoids, isomers, acids, salts, and salts of isomers, whether growing or not, with a delta-9 THC of not more than 0.3 percent on a dry weight basis. Likewise, the Federal (CSA) definition of marihuana continues to include those parts of the cannabis plant as specified in 21 U.S.C. 802 (and derivatives thereof) that contain more than 0.3 percent delta-9 THC on a dry weight basis. The foregoing provisions of Federal law remain in effect for purposes of Federal criminal prosecutions as well as Federal civil and administrative proceedings arising under the CSA. However, for purposes of this rule ( i.e., for purposes of determining the obligations of licensed hemp growers under the applicable provisions of the 2018 Farm Bill), the term āacceptable hemp THC levelā is used to account for the uncertainty in the test results.
I am attaching a link to the definition of hemp and marijuana in federal law for your convenienceā¦ Federal Register :: Establishment of a Domestic Hemp Production Program
For this reason, Iām out.

strongly disagree sirā¦
one is illegal and federally controlled.
the other is legal and not federally controlled.
if I have made a mistake, please show me how I can fix it. thank you sir.
They are all the same plant. When said plant(s) have a certain levels of a certain cannabinoid it is put in one of those categories by the US government. Itās still all Cannabis.

They are the same āspeciesā yesā¦ they are not all the same āplantā noā¦
For this reason, the US government created two words to differentiate between legal and illegal varieties of the same plant species.
Those two legal words are hemp and marijuana. They are defined in state and federal laws.

Ill just leave these here
There are atleast 2 exemptions that make any isomer of cbd except d9 legal
6 Likes
If that were a genuinely open loop-hole, then D9-THC (all THC isomers are CBD isomers) would be effectively legalized for trade and transport across the coterminous USA. I am not saying it is NOT a loopholeā¦ just that itās probably a bad idea to use it with massive quantities of THC, at least without an exceptionally good attorney willing to take it all the way to a Supreme Court of the state!

Any issues selling your d8 yet?
And what is your defense against the assertation that any d8, regardless of source, is substantially similar to d9, and therefore a controlled substance?
1 Like
Iām no lawyer and donāt advocate for either side, but the only difference between the hemp derived d8 and āillegalā d8 is documentation and proof. People selling all this d8 should have a QR code on the back that proves where it came from, otherwise one can only assume it was not hemp derived and therefore illegally obtained. A little website should come up telling of what farm, batch #, etc. or something of the sort of where it came from. There you can also link all the literature outlined in this thread.
My 2 cents if ur gonna sell it.
