Trilogene Seeds reports the “THC Null” cultivar simply “cannot make THC.”
A Colorado-based company claims it may have the solution for ensuring hemp does not run afoul of U.S. requirements related to THC: make sure the cultivar contains none of the psychoactive compound.
Hemp — which offers promise as a windfall for CBD production — needs to adhere to certain rules to be considered hemp at all.
The so-called 2018 Farm Bill, which was signed into law on Dec. 20 of that year, demands that hemp contain no more than 0.3 per cent THC “on a dry weight basis,” notes a fact sheet from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
