New regulations, especially in Florida, require a final delta-9 THC level to be .3% or less.

New lab reports are including THCa calculations in the final total of delta-9 THC levels.

According to FL Hemp Regulations (5K-4.034) total delta-9 THC concentration means delta-9 THC + (THCa x .877).

Example:
delta-9 THC: .07%
THCa: .71%

.71 x .877 = .623  delta-9 THCa (Decarb value)

.623 + .07 = .693% of total delta-9 THC

US Senators and Representatives in Oregon, Virginia, Maine and Indiana sent letters to the USDA to include a 0.5 percent negligence threshold in its regulations and tests should focus exclusively on delta-9 THC, rather than the full range of THC content

USDA extended its comment period to January 29th.
