// Definition
The legal and scientific controversy around THC products derived from hemp through chemical conversion, exploiting loopholes in the Farm Bill's regulation which ends at the plant level. The new Farm Bill's hemp provisions specifically cover the plant but not all downstream products.
// From the Episode
Ep198 featured Chimera Ryan Lee and deep discussion about biosynthetic pathways, CBD cultivars for GW Pharma, and the Farm Bill's regulatory gap. Hemp-derived THC made through chemical conversion sits in a legal gray area. Charlotte Figi and Haley's Comet (a pediatric epilepsy cultivar) were discussed in context of how CBD/hemp policy intersects with medical use. Haley was a young epilepsy patient in the Hash Church community.
