Sanders said he tests his products to make sure they contain no more than 0.3 percent THC, which is a fraction of the amount contained in recreational marijuana, The <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/2r9mHIu\">Kansas City Star reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Sanders\u2019 herbal supplements are marketed and sold nationwide based on another chemical found in both marijuana and hemp: cannabidiol, or CBD. Powders, oils and lotions made from CBD don\u2019t produce a high, but are promoted as providing health benefits.<\/p>\n<p>Sanders believes the low-THC formulation makes his products legal. But police in Mission, Kansas, disagreed. They cited Kansas\u2019 \u201czero tolerance\u201d anti-marijuana laws in seizing his product last month from an alternative medicine store called Into the Mystic.<\/p>\n<p>Several CBD oil shops have popped up on both sides of the state line in the Kansas City metro area in recent years, despite questions about their legality. Former Missouri Attorney General Chris Koster sued some sellers last year. Missouri allows CBD oil only for treating epilepsy and manufacturers and sellers have to be licensed with the state.<\/p>\n<p>Ryan Vandrey, a psychiatry professor at Johns Hopkins University who has studied the effects of cannabis, said it\u2019s hard to pin down how much low-THC hemp oil one would have to consume to have a psychoactive effect. But he said it\u2019s a lot, and most law enforcement agencies haven\u2019t done much to crack down on it, in part because \u201cthe hemp law is a little bit confusing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sanders said Kansas officials have said it\u2019s OK to sell CBD oils if they have no THC, so he\u2019s working on making a separate set of products, on separate equipment, to ensure there\u2019s no trace of it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve literally gone through every piece of equipment and cleaned it with ethanol,\u201d Sanders said.<\/p>\n<p>He said he has submitted samples of the new products to the Kansas Bureau of Investigation and has offered to give them to any Kansas retailers that want to trade back their stock of low-THC products.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt would honestly maybe make more sense just to not ship to Kansas,\u201d Sanders said. \u201cIt\u2019s a small state.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Information from: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kcstar.com\">The Kansas City Star<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><!-- .row --> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MISSION, Kan. &#8212; The owner of a Missouri hemp oil supplier said he&#8217;s making a special product line for Kansas after police seized the supply of a retailer because it contained trace amounts of THC.
