Is Delta 8 THC Legal?

Is Delta 8 THC federally legal?

YES

Delta 8 THC may sound intimidating, given the historical associations with Delta 9 THC over the past nine decades. However, Delta 8 THC is fully legal at the federal level and in most states in the United States, thanks to the passage of H.R. 2, also known as the Agricultural Improvement Act of 2018 or the 2018 Farm Bill.

 

The 2018 Farm Bill explicitly legalized all derivatives, isomers, and cannabinoids present in hemp as long as the final product contains less than 0.3% Delta 9 THC. It's worth noting that delta 8 THC is an isomer of CBD, which is a derivative of hemp, and CBD itself is a cannabinoid found in hemp. Our extracts conform to the legal requirement, containing less than 0.3% Delta 9 THC.

 

Questions about the Federal Analogue Act, a component of the Controlled Substances Act, often arise due to Delta 8 THC being listed. Fortunately, the 2018 Farm Bill addresses this concern by amending the Controlled Substances Act to exclude all tetrahydrocannabinol found in hemp explicitly.

The pertinent language from the 2018 Farm Bill is provided below, along with links to the original text.
