The hemp industry is united in its desire to see the definition of hemp change to accommodate a level of naturally occurring THC at 1%, up from the current, arbitrary 0.3%. At either level, THC is so low as to not be able to get anybody high. Crappy weed from the ’70s had maybe 7-9% THC, and marijuana at dispensaries today is typically at least in the high teens if not the 20s-percent level.
The problem is that farmers can grow hemp that goes “hot” exceeds that 0.3% level which forces producers to destroy their crop and potentially get slapped with a felony from the DEA.
