THIS IS IMPORTANT! Congress is considering a change to the definition of “h**p” which would put our small store out of business, as well as most farmers who are growing h**p. Total THC content in products would not be able to exceed 0.2 mg. Who wants to buy that low a potency, unless you just want CBD or CBG preparations, and even the effectivity of those are enhanced by the inclusion of up to 5 mg of THC in a gummy, for instance.
The level of total THC in the plant is not legal above 0.3%, and this low level requires farmers to destroy fields testing high. I’ve heard from farmers who have lost thousands of dollars in destroyed fields.
This language is included in the Agriculture Appropriations bill being considered in committee. It could be bundled with other bills to try to open the government, and this language would be hidden by the volume at that time. We have to email our senators and representatives to let them know this language is unacceptable. The h**p industry would be killed by this change.
