Key legal question
Whether the sale of THC-containing hemp products fell under the Narcotics Act and was punishable under the cited provisions.
Extracted holding
Yes. Hemp products with THC above the relevant thresholds count as narcotics and may not be placed on the market.
Extracted reasoning
The court relied on its settled case law and held that the products’ THC content was well above the applicable limits; political debate or hoped-for liberalization did not change the binding force of the statute.
