| Video Discription | 2018 Farm Bill and THC Confusion 2018 Farm Bill States… ‘‘SEC. 297A. DEFINITIONS. ‘‘In this subtitle: ‘‘(1) HEMP.—The term ‘hemp’ means the plant 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 tetrahydrocannabinol concentration of not more than 0.3 percent on a dry weight basis.” This makes it seems like only Delta-9 THC is of concern until SEC. 297B 2Aii is read which causes the confusion… 2018 Farm Bill SEC. 297B 2Aii ‘‘(ii) a procedure for testing, using post decarboxylation or other similarly reliable methods, delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol concentration levels of hemp produced in the State or territory of the Indian tribe” So what are the typical accepted testing methods? Post decarboxylation High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Post Decarboxylation Post Decarboxylation – A process which the acid cannabinoids (such as THCA) are heated to “activate” them which converts them to neutral cannabinoids like THC. To decarboxylate hemp, it needs to be heated around 220 degrees Fahrenheit for around 30 to 45 minutes of exposure (although the time varies). High-Performance Liquid Chromatography High-Performance Liquid Chromatography- formerly referred to as high-pressure liquid chromatography, is a technique in analytical chemistry used to separate, identify, and quantify each component in a mixture. It relies on pumps to pass a pressurized liquid solvent containing the sample mixture through a column filled with a solid adsorbent material. Why Does the Testing Method Affect How the Law Is Interpreted? Both testing methods allow for the amount of Delta-9 THC to be detected. HPLC (unlike post decarboxylation), does not need to convert the THCA to Delta-9 THC and instead of isolates the Delta-9 THC. Interpreting the Farm Bill As the law recommends post decarboxylation but also states that hemp is defined under 0.3% Delta-9 THC, this has lead the individual states to determine what the law means as it is somewhat contradictory. There Will Continue To Be Confusion The USDA has not developed a standard test for determining Delta-9 THC. Until that test has been developed, there will continue to be confusion between states and the federal law unless further clarification from the federal government is given.
