The 0.3% THC rule refers to the legal threshold established in many countries, including the United States, to differentiate hemp from marijuana. According to this rule, cannabis plants containing 0.3% or less tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) by dry weight are classified as hemp, which is legal for cultivation and sale under certain regulations. This distinction is important for regulatory purposes, as hemp and marijuana are both varieties of the Cannabis sativa plant but have different legal statuses due to their THC content.
