Скачать или смотреть WHY A 1% THC Limit for Hemp is the Future

In this video we provide a rationale for why a 1% THC testing limit for hemp as a definition is the future. Firstly this is already a mainstream point of regulation for the Swiss and Czech Republic.

We also know that in certain states in the USA that more than 20% of hemp crops are being destroyed due to exceeding the THC testing threshold of 0.3% (THC & THCA).

Allowing a 1% THC hemp limit will also permit a more developed chemovar / chemotype profile for cannabinoids in the flower, potentially allowing for doubling of CBD % per gram of biomass with a higher THC threshold.

A central theme to any cannabinoid testing limits is good reference testing laboratories. In South Africa access to analytical reference testing standards is still to arduous with current permitting. Proficiency testing (PT Scheme) in the local cannabis market is still a massive concern. Naturally sampling the best bud/flower on the plant will result in higher THC content, the moisture content of the flower when testing along with the sample preparation will all have a massive impact. The validation of the testing methods - GC/HPLC will also play a central role.
