Can CBD Have Above 0.3 Percent THC? — How Far Can Full-Spectrum CBD Go?

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 02:07:01 GMT

The 2018 US Farm Bill gave farmers and consumers a precise definition of hemp flowers. If a cannabis strain has ≤ 0.3 percent delta-9 THC on a dry weight basis, it qualifies for federally legal hemp status. However, even if a CBD-rich flower has a smidge above this 0.3 percent cutoff, it’s technically illegal marijuana.Although these rules are as clear as day, some customers may have seen hemp-derived CBD products with extra THC concentrations. Are these CBD oils legal to take in certain territories? Also, why would anyone want to order a CBD oil with over 0.3 percent THC?How Is High-THC Hemp CBD Oil For Real?Since delta-9 THC is the primary psychoactive cannabinoid in cannabis, it remains the DEA’s central target. To this day, the DEA considers delta-9 THC to be a “Schedule I” substance like LSD and heroin.However, as more states have begun pushing back against the DEA’s policies, a few local governments have become more friendly toward THC. There are also more research facilities ...

Is this left turn illegal, Mr. Roadshow? So many drivers do it, but I’m sure I’d get busted.

Q: We’ve used the Chevron gas station at Meridian and Fruitdale in San Jose for gas and the car wash.After repaving and restriping, Fruitdale now has two sets of double yellow lines, within 2 feet of each other. The DMV manual says to consider that a barrier, meaning: don’t cross it!Legal or not, people do it daily!If the people who painted these stripes knew what they were doing, how can we get signs saying NO LEFT TURN? A sign is needed for people leaving the gas station and one for those who would try to enter the station from westbound Fruitdale.We haven’t seen anyone get pulled over, but knowing our luck, we would be the ones!We solved the problem for us and don’t buy gas or wash our cars there now.I’m just trying to be a good citizen and need clarification on the striping. I would like your advice as to who I should reach out to.Occasionally, there are a few police cars in the church parking lot across the street and I’ve been tempted to ask them. My husband said they ar...

For the past five years, Smith has seen the meme everywhere, his algorithm apparently having figured out that the woman known widely as BBQ Becky is forever linked to one of the strangest and most unpleasant days of his life.Kenzie Smith first met Jennifer Schulte, who reported him and his friends to the police in 2018 for barbecuing at Lake Merritt with a charcoal grill in the infamous BBQ Becky incident. (courtesy photo) Like most memes, this one has transcended its origins. The reams of content it generates typically do not reference Oakland’s Lake Merritt, where Smith first met the woman in question, Jennifer Schulte, who reported him and his friends to police in 2018 for barbecuing with a charcoal grill.The infamous BBQ Becky incident, as it’s n...

AI is already linked to layoffs in a surprising industry

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 02:07:01 GMT

(CNN) — Many have raised alarms about the potential for artificial intelligence to displace jobs in the years ahead, but it’s already causing upheaval in one surprising industry where workers once seemed invincible: tech.A small but growing number of tech firms have cited AI as a reason for laying off workers and rethinking new hires in recent months, as Silicon Valley races to adapt to rapid advances in the technology being developed in its own backyard.Chegg, an education technology company, disclosed in a regulatory filing last month that it was cutting 4% of its workforce, or about 80 employees, “to better position the Company to execute against its AI strategy and to create long-term, sustainable value for its students and investors.”IBM CEO Arvind Krishna said in an interview with Bloomberg in May that the company expects to pause hiring for roles it thinks could be replaced with AI in the coming years. (In a subsequent interview with Barrons, however, Krishna said that he fel...
