You have a fundamental misunderstanding of the federal law. It’s .3% delta 9 thc. THCa the acidic form of delta 9 thc before conversion through heat is not controlled at any limit.

I am aware of the difference. The terminology is confusing and I was kinda stoned while typing that.

He specifically said "any detectable amount of total THC" though, which means the difference is moot. Total THC is THCA in this context.

EDIT:

So there is no miscommunication, yeah federal law allows a max of 0.3% D9 THC at the pre-harvest test (I forget the exact specifics, it's been a while). Newsom said CBD that contains any detectable percentage of total THC is banned in the state of California by executive order with no oversight. The scientific facts of the latter are not the same as the former and Newsom is an idiot for thinking they are.
