Has anyone seen this? Does this mean hot distillate is now legal?
“If hemp-derived THC is now legal and can cross state lines, it will be close to impossible for law enforcement to determine the difference between cannabis-derived THC and hemp-derived THC. This USDA bulletin could have effectively descheduled cannabis. Singleton believes Congress will be forced to act quickly to legalize cannabis since the USDA has jumped the gun.”
There’s a thread where this is being debated currently if you’re interested
I have definitely read through that thread. However this was new guidance released on 5/28 by the usda. Which seems to legalize hemp derived THC in all forms by removing hemp derive thc from CSA
Any link to this USDA announcement? Does the USDA override DEA scheduling of drugs?
This guidance was issued to clarify a few things, particularly with the Idaho and WV cases coming to different conclusions.
In short, interstate transport of 7606 hemp is legal now, and all transport of hemp will be legal when the USDA issues its regulations later this year.
While THC in hemp is legal (grown under 7606 or soon to be issued regulations), it still needs to be under 0.3% THC dry weight.
The enlightening footnote provides some hope.
So no say oh whoops my hemp was 20% thc?
watch, there will be special highway patrol units rolling around with mini GCs to combat that
