I don’t follow. Even if the hemp product is still of sufficiently low concentration, eating enough of it will cause an effect.

put another way, instead of eating one (1) THC gummy, you get a bag of 0.3% gummy worms and eat the bag.

might get you fat in the process -- lotta calories in gummies -- but if you're getting that much THC you're probably gonna eat a buncha candy anyway

Initially I was thinking it was 0.3% by weight, which would be no big deal -- a gummy worm under 3.5g would be legal for 10mg of THC. But it's 0.3% by volume! What volume does 10mg of THC take up? Quick search didn't make it clear... but I think you'd need probably a little over a liter of liquid to get 10mg of THC at a concentration of no more than 0.3%. Not terrible, but I could see a silly product called "hemp water" that's just a 1.5L bottle of water with hemp-derived THC in it.

For an edible it'd probably be a bit painful.. a whole bag of gummies (and then some) like you suggest...

In the article it says "0.3 percent or less of the product’s dry weight"
