The Truth About Hemp and Legality: What You Need to Know
Intro:
Is hemp legal? It’s a question we hear often—and the answer isn’t always simple. Let’s break down the current legal landscape so you can understand where hemp, THC-A, and other cannabinoids stand today.
The 2018 Farm Bill:
This federal legislation legalized the production and sale of industrial hemp, defining it as any cannabis plant with less than 0.3% Delta-9 THC by dry weight. That’s the foundation for legal THC-A flower today.
State vs. Federal:
While THC-A is federally legal, some states have enacted laws to ban or restrict its sale. Before purchasing or traveling with hemp products, always check your local laws.
Why the Distinction Matters:
Hemp and marijuana are technically the same species, but they’re classified differently based on THC content. That’s why a THC-A flower grown under strict compliance is legal, while a nearly identical plant with 0.4% THC isn’t.
