Hemp
-
What is hemp-derived THC?
The Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018 (2018 Farm Bill) legalized hemp federally. It defines hemp as any part of a Cannabis sativa L. plant with a concentration of <0.3% of D9-THC on a dry weight basis. Hemp-derived THC is obtained by chemically converting hemp or distilling its waste (mother liquor) into THC, allowing for transportation of these "hemp-derived" products across state lines and for production in a much wider selection of markets than traditional, regulated cannabis.
-
Is hemp-derived THC safe?
The safety of hemp-derived THC products is dependent on many factors and the purity of inputs can range widely. This is why it's important to choose a trustworthy partner and supplier. At Vertosa, we spent months rigorously investigating and testing suppliers for quality and traceability. Our clients can rest easy knowing that we provide detailed documentation from seed to sale with each hemp order.
-
Can hemp-derived THC products be sold direct to consumer?
Yes! Many of our partners have found a lot of success selling hemp-derived THC products from their websites.

Cannabis isn't federally legal in the United States — will I be able to produce and sell in my market?
