Drug Enforcement Administration (“DEA”) published an interim final rule surrounding hemp and hemp derivatives. Even going back to the 2014 Farm Bill, the lack of regulations was apparent. In fact, most state departments of agriculture allowing for hemp cultivation under the 2014 Farm Bill expressly refused to regulate hemp processing.
Most of us in the hemp industry are well-aware of the major issues in the interim rules: 15-day pre-harvest testing requirements, total THC, DEA laboratories, and crop insurance to name a few. Moving forward into 2020 many crops would have to be destroyed that have otherwise been able to be used for extraction for the last several years.
As the 2018 Farm Bill states, and as the USDA rules reiterate, the 2014 Farm Bill will remain in effect until October 31, 2020.

However, there are indications from studies done with cannabidiol-rich cannabis extracts in Israel that indicate that less side effects (46%) are achieved with a natural cannabis plant extract containing a 20:1 ratio of CBD to THC. The CBD-rich extract group had a lower effective dose on average, 6.1
To be fair, the USDA did issue an opinion in mid-2019 that stated that states/tribes could not prohibit the interstate transport of hemp produced under the 2014 Farm Bill. Here’s our summary of why that is such a problem: In order to extract cannabinoids from hemp, hemp plant material must go through an extraction process.
Most delta-8 products, especially the concentrated forms, will likely have higher amounts of delta-9 in them because of the way delta-8 is extracted. […] I feel better about the CBD market (and CBG, CBN). Those cannabinoids are easier to extract so there’s less risk with doing it wrong. percent.”.
