In December 2018, Congress passed the 2018 Farm Bill. This was a decisive victory for the cannabis and hemp industry.  This legalized the distribution, production, and sale of hemp products on a national and Federal scale.  According to this federal law, a hemp product can contain up to 0.3% of hemp-derived Delta-9 THC on a dry weight basis.  Delta-9 THC is the primary cannabinoid responsible for the “high” that comes from using a marijuana or cannabis product.

This ruling has allowed us to produce hemp-derived Delta-9 products that are legal for sale in all 50 States with fewer rules than traditional cannabis products. 

While other states have been and continue to be slow to respond to the legalization of recreational marijuana, it is currently legalized in a total of 19 states and the District of Columbia. If you are a resident of these states, you can enter any dispensary and purchase marijuana-derived Delta-9 THC products. But if you don’t live in an area with recreational marijuana, you may want to know—can you buy legal Delta-9 THC anywhere else? Yes, but it’s not marijuana-derived, it’s hemp-derived.
