  • I am aware of the difference. The terminology is confusing and I was kinda stoned while typing that.

    He specifically said “any detectable amount of total THC” though, which means the difference is moot. Total THC is THCA in this context.

    EDIT:

    So there is no miscommunication, yeah federal law allows a max of 0.3% D9 THC at the pre-harvest test (I forget the exact specifics, it’s been a while). Newsom said CBD that contains any detectable percentage of total THC is banned in the state of California by executive order with no oversight. The scientific facts of the latter are not the same as the former and Newsom is an idiot for thinking they are.


  • Newsom announced new emergency regulations on Friday that would outlaw hemp products with any “detectable amount of total THC.” Hemp products that don’t have THC would be further limited to five servings per package, and sales would be restricted to adults 21 and older.

    So:

    A. He banned all hemp flower and most hemp-derived products in CA in one fell swoop because he doesn’t understand how the relation of THC:CBD works in the plant or the entourage effect or the fact that federally it’s a total of 0.3% maximum, which ain’t getting anybody high.

    B. He limited packaging for what reason, exactly? It doesn’t get you high. Even if it did, why?

    C. An age limit, that I can agree with. It should probably be 18 for this like it is most everywhere else in the US, but if you want people to be able to die for their country and can’t have a CBD gummy, go ahead Newsom.

    Age, testing, and labeling requirements are great. Unscientific regulations by executive order that will make people’s lives worse are not.


  • You end up saying something similar to yourself after you read and fail to understand a LKML archive because it’s the only available documentation on this specific flag that you may or may not need and if you don’t need it why not turn it off. Repeat this many times for much learning (eventually).

    It was a great experience but next time I’m building everything not strictly necessary as a module.




  • That’s just it. It is literally chemically the exact same thing, just called something different because the people that wrote the law weren’t paying attention when they wrote it.

    THCA (tetrahydrocannabinolic acid) is the same shit, no matter whether it’s directly referred to as THCA is not. It’s the precursor to D9 THC (Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol), present in all strains of C. sativa, and gets decarboxylated into D9 when heated. It’s named specifically on stuff you buy online because the law defines D9 itself as the illegal compound. Since D9 directly is only present in trace amounts until you smoke or otherwise heat the plant material, you end with a legal product.

    Not a chemist or a lawyer, I just like watching YouTube stoned…
