Linked In Post: Bay State Extracts – “This morning we received an order from Massachusetts Department of Agricultural Resources commanding us to destroy any and all THCV products and stop its transfer.”

Here’s the post

“Cease and desist the manufacture and sale of hemp products containing THC-V or any synthetic isomers of THC that are not otherwise authorized by state or federal law.”

It’s alarming that despite remitting a well thought out e-mail breaking down that THCV is not only a naturally occurring cannabinoid found in hemp but also not an isomer of THC nor is it intoxicating – in fact, pharmacologically, it inhibits the psychotropic properties of THC.

This will effectively collapse the supply chain of THCV in MA and cause a myriad of downstream effects in regards to the availability of beneficial and effects based products here.

There is no logical basis for banning a cannabinoid simply because it’s acronym begins with THC. I have communicated this in depth to the department and will be requesting a hearing to address this.
