THC Rules Loosened On Hemp In Wisconsin
The limit of .3% has been a point of contention since the program started
Wisconsin’s Department of Agriculture, Trade, and Consumer Protection (DAC&CP) issued a new emergency rule that will let some hemp growers save crops that go over the federal THC limit of 0.3%. The state adopted two federal rules affecting such adulterated plants.
First, allowances have been set that shield growers from fines if their crops go “hot,” raising the tolerance level from a total 0.5% to 1.0% for THC in hemp crops. Those non-compliant crops could be at least partially saved by cutting off and destroying only the flowers, or grinding the entire plant into biomass, said Brian Kuhn, who heads the DAC&CP’s hemp program.
CBD dominates in state
While the change may help grain and fiber producers, it would to little to support CBD producers, who live off the hemp flowers, and who have dominated Wisconsin hemp since growing started in the state three years ago.
