It was crafted with input by the industry and they are touting it as a win. It’s kind of surprising how much support they get from the legislature who regularly kill medical and decriminalization bills. They love farmers a lot more than they do liberals here.

As used in this part, unless the context otherwise requires:
(3) “Hemp-derived cannabinoid”:
(A) Means:
(ii) A hemp-derived product containing delta-9
tetrahydrocannabinol in a concentration of three tenths of one percent
(0.3%) or less on a dry weight basis;
(B) Includes, but is not limited to:
[…]
(vii) Tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCa); and
Um… this legalizes weed? Or ‘high THCa hemp’ rather
there’s language about serving size(25mg) but no package limits
(ii) A hemp-derived product containing delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol in a concentration of three-tenths of one percent (0.3%) or less on a dry weight basis; (B) Includes, but is not limited to: (i) Delta-8 tetrahydrocannabinol; (ii) Delta-10 tetrahydrocannabinol; (iii) Hexahydrocannabinol; (iv) Tetrahydrocannabiphorol (THCp); (v) Tetrahydrocannabivarin (THCv); and (vi) Tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCa); and
This includes THCa in the D9 equation doesnt it? That shuts the loophole rather than opening it right?
That is saying its it’s considered HEMP derived cannabinoid if it under .3% D9 and contains any of the listed(anything over .3%or made from something with higher then .3% is considered cannabis
The way I read the bill it looks like they want to treat conversions and THca like recreational cannabis which is a win vs just having everything banned
These cannabinoids are regulated, the other ones are not.

It is our crack at full regulation for hemp intoxicating derivatives. Not overregulating what so ever like MJ but making sure that there is accountability and guidelines.
If MJ would have done this at some point in the last 12 years hemp wouldn’t have taken over and became a 40-50B market.
So what’s up with the 25mg cap? I get that it might make the regulators fuzzy inside know people can’t get as high, but we have a lot of people that rely on our products for pain and such and they have to have that 100+ mg dose.
Im reading it as defining hemp derived cannabinoids as having less than .3% D9 but more then .1% of any of the listed cannabinoids and that anything meeting that criteria will have to go through different tax testing packing protocols the regular “hemp cannabinoids” basically reads like a recreational marijuana bill
Welcoming to almost recreational cannabis Tennessee!
So I live in TN. If you talk to anyone around here, they all say “they should just regulate it like alcohol”. Which is super fucked if you look into TN alcohol laws, but I digress. I guess I just get frustrated that anyone can buy PGA and get fuggin SAUCED, but people that rely on 100-200mg for chronic pain get fucked. I’ve had multiple people tell me they buy my product because their so and so has cancer and it’s the only thing that helps. Like from a business perspective it will probably make me more money buy selling more lower dosed gummies, but from a consumer perspective it seems like a stab in the back.
In a lot of medical states your limitations are at 10mg per dose and 100mg per bag , its unfortunate but at the end of the day the people who will own the consumable products will be big pharma and they are a profit driven industry
That’s frustrating as hell. I never expected to be able to sell my high doses products forever, but I kinda hoped. Like I started my business expecting all my customers to be the 20-something crowd that just wants to get high, but by and large my customer base are the older folk that need to deal with their pain, sleep management, mood, etc. I don’t make any medical claims about my products, but my customers sure reap the benefits there.
