Can CBD Have Above 0.3 Percent THC? — How Far Can Full-Spectrum CBD Go?

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:23:46 GMT

The 2018 US Farm Bill gave farmers and consumers a precise definition of hemp flowers. If a cannabis strain has ≤ 0.3 percent delta-9 THC on a dry weight basis, it qualifies for federally legal hemp status. However, even if a CBD-rich flower has a smidge above this 0.3 percent cutoff, it’s technically illegal marijuana.Although these rules are as clear as day, some customers may have seen hemp-derived CBD products with extra THC concentrations. Are these CBD oils legal to take in certain territories? Also, why would anyone want to order a CBD oil with over 0.3 percent THC?How Is High-THC Hemp CBD Oil For Real?Since delta-9 THC is the primary psychoactive cannabinoid in cannabis, it remains the DEA’s central target.

Is this left turn illegal, Mr. Roadshow? So many drivers do it, but I’m sure I’d get busted.

Q: We’ve used the Chevron gas station at Meridian and Fruitdale in San Jose for gas and the car wash.After repaving and restriping, Fruitdale now has two sets of double yellow lines, within 2 feet of each other. The DMV manual says to consider that a barrier, meaning: don’t cross it!Legal or not, people do it daily!If the people who painted these stripes knew what they were doing, how can we get signs saying NO LEFT TURN? A sign is needed for people leaving the gas station and one for those who would try to enter the station from westbound Fruitdale.We haven’t seen anyone get pulled over, but knowing our luck, we would be the ones!We solved the problem for us and don’t buy gas or wash our cars there now.I’m just trying to be a good citizen and need clarification on the striping. I would like your advice as to who I should reach out to.Occasionally, there are a few police cars in the church parking lot across the street and I’ve been tempted to ask them. My husband said they ar...

Five years ago, Oakland’s infamous ‘BBQ Becky’ confrontation gave racism a new name

OAKLAND — There it was again, at the top of Kenzie Smith’s endless Facebook feed: the image of a frowning woman in a navy-blue jacket and sunglasses holding a phone firmly to her ear.This was no coincidence. For the past five years, Smith has seen the meme everywhere, his algorithm apparently having figured out that the woman known widely as BBQ Becky is forever linked to one of the strangest and most unpleasant days of his life.Kenzie Smith first met Jennifer Schulte, who reported him and his friends to the police in 2018 for barbecuing at Lake Merritt with a charcoal grill in the infamous BBQ Becky incident. (courtesy photo) Like most memes, this one has transcended its origins. The reams of content it generates typically do not reference Oakland’s Lake Merritt, where Smith first met the woman in question, Jennifer Schulte, who reported him and his friends to police in 2018 for barbecuing with a charcoal grill.The infamous BBQ Becky incident, as it’s n...

AI is already linked to layoffs in a surprising industry

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:23:46 GMT

(CNN) — Many have raised alarms about the potential for artificial intelligence to displace jobs in the years ahead, but it’s already causing upheaval in one surprising industry where workers once seemed invincible: tech.A small but growing number of tech firms have cited AI as a reason for laying off workers and rethinking new hires in recent months, as Silicon Valley races to adapt to rapid advances in the technology being developed in its own backyard.Chegg, an education technology company, disclosed in a regulatory filing last month that it was cutting 4% of its workforce, or about 80 employees, “to better position the Company to execute against its AI strategy and to create long-term, sustainable value for its students and investors.”IBM CEO Arvind Krishna said in an interview with Bloomberg in May that the company expects to pause hiring for roles it thinks could be replaced with AI in the coming years. (In a subsequent interview with Barrons, however, Krishna said that he fel...

Demanda alega que Harvard da un trato preferente a las admisiones heredadas, que son “abrumadoramente” blancas

(CNN) — Tres grupos de defensa de las minorías demandaron a la dirección de la Universidad de Harvard, acusándola de discriminación por dar un trato preferente a los hijos de donantes adinerados y antiguos alumnos, y citan la reciente sentencia de la Corte Suprema de Estados Unidos que eliminó la acción afirmativa para reforzar su demanda.La demanda, presentada por el grupo Lawyers for Civil Rights en nombre de Chica Project, African Community Economic Development of New England y Greater Boston Latino Network, alega que los estudiantes que reciben ese trato preferente son “abrumadoramente blancos” y representan hasta el 15% de los estudiantes admitidos.“Este trato preferente no tiene nada que ver con los méritos del solicitante. Por el contrario, se trata de un beneficio injusto y no merecido que se confiere únicamente en función de la familia en la que nace el solicitante”, afirma Lawyers for Civil Rights en un comunicado de prensa. “Esta costum...
