Firm sues over product it says is hemp; state says it’s pot
February 2, 2019
BOISE, Idaho (AP) — A company has filed a lawsuit against Idaho State Police and Ada County after authorities seized nearly 7,000 pounds of cannabis from a truck headed to Colorado, the Idaho Statesman reported.
Authorities who stopped the truck said it was filled with marijuana, but Big Sky Scientific LLC, which was shipping the product to Colorado, said in the lawsuit that it’s industrial hemp, which is now legal under the recently passed U.S. Farm Bill.
Hemp is a non-psychoactive cousin of marijuana. Both hemp and marijuana are cannabis plants.

Marsano could not say how low of a THC content will generate a positive result by the field tests or whether the dogs were trained to differentiate between marijuana and hemp.
Still, he said transporting anything containing THC is a chargeable offense in Idaho.
