The article is about how officials are worried about explosions when people start extracting the CBD oil from all the hemp.

The explosive growth in popularity of hemp oil products could lead to literal explosions in the Rogue Valley.
A hemp extract called cannabidiol, or CBD, is popping up in everything from lotions to smoothies across the nation.
CBD doesn’t produce a high like the THC found in marijuana. Although more research is needed, studies show CBD can ease a variety of medical problems, including epileptic seizures and chronic pain.
Hemp jumped into first place among Jackson County crops, passing up grapes and pears, with 8,579 acres planted this year, according to the Oregon Department of Agriculture.
Growers hope to sell their hemp or process it themselves to extract the oil, which can sell for as much as $12,000 per ounce, according to the Associated Press.
Gold, meanwhile, is trading this week for $1,500 per ounce.
How in the hell can that be true? I bought either a gram or a half gram in a little glass vile that goes in a vape pen.
I paid 35 bucks
If it was a gram that means an ounce was worth 980 bucks . Or 1/2 is double that.
The MMT is full of shit. I've looked on Google and there no way in hell an ounce is worth 12 thousand bucks.
More like 200 bucks.
Without question that is a typo or they are colossal morons.
I got an email back from the author of this article.
"We've changed the article online because the information I got from the Associated Press saying refined pure CBD oil was $12,000 an ounce appears to be wrong. Pure refined oil, which is then used to make consumer products, can sell for $12,000 per POUND, according to people in the industry."
Appears to be wrong????
