Great chat with Pamela holed up in DC in the middle last week’s east coast snowstorm about all things hemp.
Nexus create products from industrial hemp and that lands them in the middle of every sort of storm imaginable.
Snowstorms, perfect storms and yes, shitstorms too.
With years of experience in the sector Pamela provides some clarity about creating and building business around human centered products that not only comply with a myriad of US regulation but also international regulatory environments.
We dive into the detail, learn what they think they know in Washington, growing up with the Cali market and watching it slowly approach a calmer maturity.
Also we chat about what it is like to run a team in this highly complicated and some confusing business.
Thankyou, Pamela, for spending time with the Koalas

BACKGROUND: The 0.3% delta-9 THC standard
The 0.3% delta-9 THC standard works very differently depending on product form. It was intended within the ‘farmgate’ to test hemp pre-harvest while it is in ground, the flowering tops are light and airy with a relatively consistent weight. However, when applied to downstream food products which are dense and measured in grams the math scales at 1 to 1,000. As the slide shows, this allows hemp edibles to contain THC levels that far exceed regulated cannabis limits. Furthermore, it leaves converted and synthetic cannabinoids like delta-8, HHC, and THC-P largely unrestricted, unlike state cannabis systems that typically cap products at 10 mg per serving and 100 mg per package.
