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 & pot are both classified as Cannabis sativa but commercial hemp is supposed to contain little or no THC, the psychoactive compound that gives pot is mind-altering properties.
The fact that this large shipment was headed to MJ-friendly Colorado makes me wonder. This case will hinge on the results of lab tests.
