There’s a whole thing about whats THC and what counts as processing. DEA went to the courts to try to get all THC lumped equally. Courts replied that thca and Delta 9 are not the same thing and that the farm bill means what it says when it limits Delta 9 in products and limits total THC 30 days prior to processing. Then there’s the question of whether processing means harvesting or whether processing means growing and when that limit actually applies. Rod Kight is a cannabis lawyer that has some articles on it.
