The Hawaii Department of Agriculture said that 18 crops had to be destroyed because they were found to have elevated THC levels while four crops which tested slightly above the 0.3 THC limit were cleared to be used by processors.

The Jack Hempicine Seed Company alleges in its lawsuit that neighboring hemp farmers have “negligently” allowed pollen from their hemp farms to drift and pollinate the flowers of the seed company’s hemp crop.
