“Cannabinoids” means any of the various naturally occurring, biologically active, chemical constituents of cannabis that bind to or interact with receptors of the endogenous cannabinoid system.
“Cannabis” means the genus of the flowering plant in the family Cannabaceae. For the purpose of this chapter, cannabis refers to any form of the plant where the delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol concentration on a dry weight basis has not yet been determined.
“Decarboxylated” means the completion of the chemical reaction that converts naturally occurring cannabinoid acid into a cannabinoid, including delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol’s acids (THCA) into delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol. The decarboxylated value for delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol may be calculated using a conversion formula that sums delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol and eighty-seven and seven tenths (87.7) per cent of THCA.
“Department” means the department of health.
“Director” means the director of health.
“Dry weight basis” refers to a method of determining the percentage of a chemical in a substance after removing the moisture from the substance.
“Enclosed indoor facility” means a permanent, stationary structure with a solid floor, rigid exterior walls that encircle the entire structure on all sides, and a roof that protects the entire interior area from the elements of weather. Nothing in this definition shall be construed to relieve the permitted applicant from the applicant’s duty to comply with all applicable building codes and regulations.
“FDA” means the United States Food and Drug Administration.
“Hemp” means Cannabis sativa L. and any part of that plant, whether growing or not, including the seeds thereof and all derivatives, extracts, cannabinoids, isomers, acids, salts, and salts of isomers, with a delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol concentration of not more than 0.3 per cent on a dry weight basis, as measured post-decarboxylation or by other similarly reliable methods.
“Hemp biomass” means the leaf and floral parts of hemp plant material.
“Hemp processor” means a person who processes hemp biomass or prepares a manufactured hemp product.
“Manufactured hemp product” means a product created by processing, as defined in this chapter, that:
“Permit” means the certificate issued by the department attesting that the applicant is permitted to operate as a hemp processor.
“Person” means an individual, firm, corporation, partnership, association, or any form of business or legal entity.
“Processing” means :
“Synthetic cannabinoid” means a cannabinoid that is:
“Tetrahydrocannabinol” means the cannabinoids that functions as the primary psychoactive component of cannabis.
