Everyone, I we had a bust for "DPP" (?). The guy explained that it was THC in liquid form, that was placed on paper and then smoked from a pipe. Has anyone heard of this? I can't remember where to find this and I seem to remember something about oils and extracts....... but others have told me that a violation doesn't exist.....

Your lab results will likely come back as penalty group 2 - Tetrahydrocannabinol, other than marihuana. If you look at the definition of marihuana it does not include: resin extracted . . .
So the oil will be Tetrahydrocannabinol, other than marihuana.

Agreed. We've been seeing an uptick in these DAB cases.

During spring break, we got hammered with college kids coming back from Colorado. Usually with 4 or more grams.

I had to read this a second time before I understood it to mean "We also saw a significant increase in POM cases around spring break when college kids were coming back from Colorado in possession of more than 4 grams of marijuana."

At first I read it to mean "This year, I went to Colorado for spring break and as I was returning from Colorado, I got really high with many college kids, and we were getting high on more than 4 grams of marijuana at a time."

Wish I could claim the pun was intentional!

Yup- PG2. I've prosecuted a couple of these, and just got another one. Candy that still had the California medical marijuana information attached to it. There are probably a TON more cases of dab/shatter/wax/honey oil out there that police simply aren't finding due to novelty.

Every DA should watch this VICE episode:

All, THANKS! This is a constant education for me and I share this with our local law enforcement.

Some more/new information: one of our lab reports recently came back as "cannabidiol", which I hadn't seen before. Cannabidiol, which appears to go by "CBD", seems to be a different substance from the traditional hash oil or wax; it sounds like it may not be as hallucinogenic as THC, and it may have different medical uses. Since it is a cannabis extract, as far as I can tell, we have it charged as a PG2 substance.

If anyone knows more about cannabidiol, fill us all in. Or, if we have it charged incorrectly, please let us know.

Ironically, I was reading an article on CBD this weekend, that is allegedly being produced from the Hemp plant....after a quick google search, I found it being sold on numerous websites and advertised as "legal" in all 50 states since it wasn't derived from the marihuana plant....


Is there a way to identify which plant produced this oil?

In my search there were numerous ways to ingest the oil from the hemp plant, including oral drops, vaping, etc.

I had not heard of any of this before.

Dang, y'all, it sounds like you didn't attend one of our legislative updates last summer where we talked at length about guns and ganja, including videos and funny slides about the new CBD law. Say it ain't so!
