The task force recommended that Colorado take a stronger enforcement approach toward intoxicating hemp products, but stopped short of going after CBD.
Although hemp and marijuana are both cannabis plants, they differ in one key way: THC. If a hemp plant's flowers or a final hemp product tests above 0.3 percent THC, it is considered marijuana by the federal government.
Factions of the hemp industry have advocated allowing intoxicating hemp products to be sold both inside and outside of the dispensary space, while the marijuana industry — bound by a much more extensive set of rules than hemp because of federal prohibition — wants similar rules or outright bans for modified cannabinoids.
The task force essentially considers all forms of hemp-derived THC as intoxicating, and recommends that"these cannabinoids shall not be allowed to be manufactured within Colorado or incorporated into Industrial Hemp Products for sale within Colorado" unless they are licensed and approved by the state.
"Hemp products that contain only non-intoxicating compounds are not subject to these limitations. It is also important to note that the definition of THC includes all of its isomers. Hemp companies will also be able to use other potentially intoxicating compounds if they can prove that those products are considered non-intoxicating by review of the standing scientific committee," the report adds.
