So there is no miscommunication, yeah federal law allows a max of 0.3% D9 THC at the pre-harvest test (I forget the exact specifics, it’s been a while). Newsom said CBD that contains any detectable percentage of total THC is banned in the state of California by executive order with no oversight. The scientific facts of the latter are not the same as the former and Newsom is an idiot for thinking they are.

You sir are correct. My apologies!
No worries. I wasn’t super clear originally and it’s confusing as hell tbh. I just want people to be able to access things they find helpful
