What does this mean for CVSI?

What will this mean for our overseas suppliers?

I'm not familiar enough with the agriculture and the plant to know impact. Hoping someone can clarify before I dig into research.

I have not seen any rules for the FDA starting in 2020. Not out yet? USDA yes, but FDA?

I agree, and perhaps CVSciences saw this a long time ago.

Chemotype III Hemp -
"CBD-rich cultivars containing low levels of THC are regarded as fiber-type or chemotype III cultivars." (2016)

"the third one, the so-called ‘fibre’, or ‘non-drug’ type (chemotype III), has mainly CBD, an amount of THC lower than 0.3%, and therefore a high CBD/THC ratio, sometimes not calculable due to undetectability of THC (de Meijer et al. 1992). "

Fedor and Futura, the 2 cultivars CVSI uses in their self-GRAS oil, are considered Chemotype III in Europe; and I see no reason why they should not be considered the same here by the USDA/FDA; they are already on several state lists of approved seed.

It has been posted several times by a *Richard* that CVSI makes its FSHE from the non-drug fiber-hemp, while a competitor *Richard* supports uses medical-hemp. He's asked why on earth would CVSI do this, when the alternative yielded higher CBD. Not putting down the other companies, but maybe CVSI knew that creating a high quality FSHE out of a fiber-hemp cultivar will prove to be the expedient way to go. I wonder how many other FSHE companies out there use the lowly-non-cost-effective fiber-hemp cultivars.
