Common sense and personal responsibility is also a thing, and so is evolution.

Exactly my thought. You only get one body. It’s important to know what you put in it.

Again, I have no problem with someone buying something illegal… How did I buy my weed before it was legalized? Buying it illegally, obv.
But I KNEW what I was doing was illegal. If I got caught, it was nobody’s fault but mine. That’s the covenant – you can do whatever you want, you just have to accept the consequences if they come.
What I don’t like is people going around with something that when pressed on the facts, they admit is at best “grey”, but they don’t talk that way when they’re selling to the public, they’re saying “oh no this is totally legal, there’s no way you can get in trouble for this and we have documentation that protects you”. And then all it takes is one person applying the “post-decarb” standard and then they’ll get busted hard and they’ll have no idea what happened to them.
Again if you market it as “hey, here’s the loophole, here’s how it works, here’s why it’s grey, you can buy it but there’s no guarantees on the legality”, I would not have any problem. No problem at all. It’s the lying and claiming something is certain that is highly uncertain that is the problem.

Mr. Knight says the total ThC stuff in the farm bill only applies to tribes… Quite interesting interpretation and I doubt it’ll hold up in court. Tricky thing for Bern is the paper trail. I doubt they acquired that THC a hemp from a hemp farmer. I don’t think playing dumb is going to hold up too well in court.
I think your crazy to think that they didnt.
All you need is to buy it from a hemp license. There are no stipulations for chain of custody this isnt mmj this is thca hemp.

I’ve seen this exactly 0 times. A fake coa isn’t getting you out of a charge they test it and find it over .3% 100% of the time. The COAs are from a month before harvest. They are never sub .3 after dry and packaging and sale.
I say fake coa because in my world a COA that isn’t within 10% of the product it’s representing is indeed fraudulent.

I can tell a lot of ppl here either weren’t in the industry during the early days of prop 215 in California or have forgotten how we got here. If ppl had this attitude back then this forum wouldn’t exist nor any of your businesses. I remember 14 years ago going to a shady doctor in San Francisco with all my buddies who " had back pain and anxiety and depression " to get prescriptions to start our first farm. Feds hated us back then. I still ID every chopper is see lol.
We forced the establishment to let us exist thru civil disobedience backed by a wonderfully vauge law. Now the rest of the country is doing the same. The cats out of the bag you can’t unring a bell. Theres flower for sale in every city in the nation. The public has access. If you see that as a bad thing then you are probably either greedy or jealous. Or both.

Absolutely. Just like @TheWillBilly said, he is good at lying, altering test, and special testing times on plants to bend the facts and the reality to further profit from lying to people and the state to skim by.
There’s others here who are guilty, but the problem is straight up people who lie to profit. If you can’t grow weed, regularly and you are forcing yourself to grow weed and call it hemp and then perform mental gymnastics with your state board and clients it just shows you aren’t even a person of character. You’re just a loop hole liar.
It’s sad knowing that it’s come down to this. These aren’t even really loopholes. They were poorly written laws with idiotic authors who don’t actually understand laws, hence your leaders put these regulations in place without actually reading them and understanding them.
Also without double checking the content and the results of how people will interpret it. I foresee your country having laws being created to ban conversion compounds due to toxicity issues, as well as simplifying the chemical compound content regulations. People who willfully engaged in this “loophole” that really isn’t a loophole at all…are probably going to face serious time once it catches up to them. It doesn’t matter the origin of a product- thca or d9 is still banned in many states and crossing state lines for distribution. When you get rolled on it doesn’t matter what you have to say, it will still cost you hundred of thousand of dollars in legal fee to argue your case and what loophole you thought you were operating under.

There’s no such thing as thca hemp. It’s a misnomer phrase made up and used by scammers.
Hemp has near zero thca. You are battling massive laboratory processes to even crystalize it and remove it. If not massive road blocks. Thca is a product made from cannabis with mislabeled plants used to confuse and skirt laws on purpose. Everyone doing this knows they are breaking the law and just using the term grey line to make themselves feel better and possibly even convince unsuspecting and uneducated buyers.
Plain and simple.
@cannabisconsultant I can name a couple jackasses who might have beat you to the scam.
Hey fans. Don’t forget.

These guys have been involved in fraud more than once. They have burned tons of vendors and resellers. They have been accused of coa swapping since the first stores opened up in the bay area. Back then they used to swap coas, swap lb bags, swap tags, and even purposely lose receipt slips not to pay people.
If you ever talked to previous employees during this time they had a policy to change buyer positions and or “fake-firing” of staff (they just move them around) so they wouldn’t have to pay vendors. One of the first places I worked was in Hayward at a cannabis dispensary around 2012. Cookies literally never paid their debts and left outstanding bills for a year at a time.
Berber himself is not a good guy, he treats people on his shop’s back then like garbage. Not to mention all the women he abused who worked for the cookies brand. His old lady would shit her pants if that info was clear and public. I would be shocked if he wasn’t divorced.
I hear all the discourse here and then I watch people sell millions of pounds of boof for thousands of dollars a pound to gas stations and the only person I know in this “illicit” world that has gotten in trouble did so for the stupid fucking mushrooms yall love so much.

Would love to see some details on this. Whos company was it ?
This is where we differ.
We are buying and selling thca hemp. We have compliant coas.
Seems like there is every single company is doing so too.
Law suits are just law suits until it is settled as anyone can be sued.
We are delighted the plant is getting the access it deserves.
Buying thca from a store is the safetest way for anyone to purchase.
Just look at this site. Are you trying to say these people are selling marijuana?

There’s no such things as thca hemp. It’s a misnomer and a lie. Hemp is high CBD and low THC by wide margins. All your doing is getting thca plants and making thca and pulling paperwork shenanigans, or your vendor is…
Yes they are selling a marijuana product.

Need to point out, removing thca from hemp isn’t easy, and isolating it to create crystalization is a arjuois process and excessive in nature which would have the cost extremely high. I mean so expensive in real life that it would be far from affordable for you to buy it.
Thca is just harvested from marijuana plants and relabeled on hemp labs. Just paperwork shenanigans.
The market place completely disagrees with you.
Why so worked up ?
Literally everyone is happy about this apart from the illegal mmj space.
Its all cannabis at the end of the day.
Thca hemp is what everyone wants. I know what your saying. Is this was grown without a hemp license it would marijuana. I understand that.
We are buying or selling marijunna as that is a scheudle one substance.
We understand some states have changed their laws so thca hemp isnt legal. We only work in legal states.
I was like you for a while until a bank called me looking for more clients.
Did you know federally speaking the only thing that matters is the d9 limits.
USDA has nothing to do with sales.

I thought the plant in both arguments is cannabis sativa. What is marijuana and hemp? They are marketing terms. 
We have legal weed in 50 states. Life is good.
