Bill Summary
This bill includes the total tetrahydrocannabinol concentration in the definition of hemp.
AI Summary
This bill amends the definition of "hemp" in New Hampshire law to explicitly include the total tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) concentration, which is a psychoactive compound found in cannabis. Specifically, it clarifies that hemp is the plant Cannabis sativa L. and any part of it, including seeds and all derivatives, extracts, cannabinoids, and their related chemical forms, as long as the total THC concentration does not exceed 0.3 percent on a dry weight basis. This total THC concentration calculation will now include tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCA), which converts to THC when heated. This change aims to provide a clearer and more comprehensive definition for regulatory purposes, ensuring that the measurement of THC content is consistent and accounts for all relevant forms of the compound.
