How to Check the THC in Your CBD Before December 11
You can check the THC in your CBD in a couple of minutes with the product's lab report, and starting December 11 the number that matters is total THC per container, which has to stay at 0.4 mg or less. I am the founder of Kyoto Botanicals and a former biologist, so in this video I walk through the three lines that matter on a COA and do the math on our own tincture.
How to Check Total THC Per Container
Find the delta 9 THC and THCA lines on the COA (THCA counts because it turns into THC), multiply each mg per gram number by the weight of your product in grams, and add them together (the federal formula counts THCA at 0.877 of its weight). If the report says ND, use the limit of detection instead for a worst case. On our Organic Mint CBD Oil that works out to 0.24 mg at most, under the 0.4 mg cap, and the CBD cabinet checker on our hemp ban page does the math for you.
