(a) If the results of a preharvest or postharvest test performed on a sample show a delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol concentration of not more than 0.3 percent on a dry weight basis, the license holder may sell or use the plants represented by the sample for any purpose allowed by law.
(b) If the results of a preharvest and, if applicable, postharvest test performed on a sample show a delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol concentration of more than 0.3 percent on a dry weight basis:
(1) the license holder shall dispose of or destroy all plants represented by the sample:
(A) in the manner prescribed by federal law; or

(A) trim the plants until the delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol concentration of the plants is not more than 0.3 percent on a dry weight basis and dispose of the noncompliant parts of the plants in a manner approved by the department;
(B) process the plants into fiber with a delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol concentration of not more than 0.3 percent on a dry weight basis and dispose of any remaining parts of the plants in a manner approved by the department; or
