Thanks, this is a really fascinating topic, all sorts of odd possibilities seem to exist.
How does remediating the crop work? Do do they have specified remedies or do you just have to figure out how to remove the excess THC yourself?

The crop is embargoed (meaning you can harvest it, but it cannot leave the site) until you can provide an approved remediation plan. If you have true industrial hemp (type III), this simply involves mulching whole plants to achieve a 0.3% total concentration. Or extracting the active materials (CO2, ethanol, BHO, etc.) and cutting it with a useful adulterant (i.e. alcohol, olive oil, etc.) until the final "product" tests at 0.3% or below for THC, then you are allowed to do whatever you want with it. All sorts of possibilities here!

It's a hell of a lot easier to just pass your initial field THC testing though. The state allows farmers to test 30 days before harvest, and any decent plant that is 20:1 or higher will pass testing. All 5 of our farms passed this season and every single field that grew any of our four varieties of seed passed as well. If you are growing true type III seed lines, there is nothing to worry about if you test at the appropriate time. We're truly loving the law here in Oregon. For once, cannabis is REALLY legal. Love it!

Thanks for answering all of my ridiculous questions.

I am learning a lot from your questions...Thanks.

Great questions. "Hemp" is a weird thing, since it is a social construct and not real--it's all cannabis--which makes a cozy understanding of the rules imperative. Keep them coming! I'm not quite finished with this white paper yet, but it might answer some questions that haven't popped up yet. We'll release the full version with significant additional information this winter ("The Hemp Farmer's Handbook").

Damn right man, all cannabis.

This is a great thread and awesome peek into how the "hemp" industry is working successfully in its renewed infancy.

The future looks great and you are playing a pioneering role. Right on dude. Keep up the good work.


Stay hazed,

Is there a market for hemp CBD flowers and is there a State legal problem with selling CBD flowers in large amounts? I'm in Southern Oregon with 5+ acres and might consider this next summer , but I don't want to make oil.

There's definitely demand for cbd flower. We always try to carry a low thc high cbd variety. Like under 1% and high teens cbd. Then we also carry some 1:1's that are more like 8-10%thc, 9-12% cbd.

[EastFortRock]

Can someone with a hemp permit sell hemp flowers to a dispensary? Or do they need a Rec permit ?
