Amends TCA Title 39, Chapter 17, Part 4 and Title 43, Chapter 27.
Tennessee SB1236 amends existing law to classify tetrahydrocannabiphorol (THCp) and tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCa) as marijuana, regardless of their extraction source, thereby subjecting products containing these substances to seizure and forfeiture. The bill clarifies the definition of "hemp" to refer specifically to the cannabis sativa L. species and modifies testing requirements for hemp-derived cannabinoid products by mandating post-decarboxylation testing instead of liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry. This legislation primarily affects manufacturers, distributors, and sellers of cannabis-related products in Tennessee.
