💥 EXCLUSIVE 💥 You’ve never heard of them, but High Fidelity is “Vermont’s largest independent cannabis company,” raking in $35 million in revenue since 2013, via two medical cannabis dispensary licenses and a legal CBD business.
The eight figure sum first reported by Cannabis Investor (via press release) is staggering in tiny Vermont, especially since THC cannabis can’t yet be legally sold to adults without a medical card. However, the story of High Fidelity is not unique in the THC cannabis industry, where the intangible licenses to operate the businesses are the real commodity, and the plants are an afterthought.

BREAKING: Vermont Declares Delta-8 THC Synthetic Cannabinoid, ILLEGAL. via @vermontijuana ⚡️🌳📰
The Vermont Agency of Agriculture, Farms, and Markets (AAFM), which oversees Vermont's hemp program, sent an email to all registered hemp producers on Friday morning clarifying that per state definitions and regulations, Delta-8 THC products are NOT hemp products and are illegal to manufacture, and warned of possible criminal sanctions for possessing or distributing Delta-8 THC.
"The Vermont Hemp Program clarified for registrants that it is not legal to manufacture delta-8-THC, because the Vermont Hemp Rules expressly prohibit the use of synthetic cannabinoids in hemp products and/or hemp-infused products. Vermont Hemp Program registrants that manufacture and/or label products containing delta-8-THC are violating State law and risk enforcement by the Vermont Agency of Agriculture, Food and Markets. In addition, delta-8-THC manufactured from hemp may be a controlled substance under federal and/or State law. As a result, anyone who uses, possesses, or distributes delta-8-THC may face federal and/or State criminal sanctions."
The announcement comes without an apparent specific catalyst, except for increased public interest and scrutiny, as well as compliance questions from within Vermont's community of CBD producers and retailers making and selling Delta-8 THC products.
A Agency of Agriculture, Farms, and Markets website further clarifies the state's position on Delta-8 THC, which it says is a 'synthetic cannabinoid', based on it being primarily manufactured from CBD
Is the Manufacture of Delta-8-THC or its Use in Hemp Products Permitted under the Vermont Hemp Program?
The short answer is “No”.
Delta-8-THC is a psychoactive compound (similar to delta-9-THC) that occurs naturally in only very small amounts in hemp. The natural concentration of delta-8-THC is so low that it is unlikely to have any effects on the consumer. However, delta-8-THC can be synthetically made from hemp. As a primary example, cannabidiol (CBD) can be isolated and manufactured or synthesized into delta-8-THC. Some producers use this chemical process to convert CBD into delta-8-THC and delta-8-THC products. Manufacturing delta-8-THC from CBD has...
