What is Delta-9 THC?
Delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is the primary psychoactive compound found in cannabis. It is responsible for the “high” associated with marijuana. However, in the context of hemp, the legal landscape changes significantly.
The 0.3% Legal Limit Explained
The 2018 Farm Bill established that hemp and hemp-derived products must contain less than 0.3% delta-9 THC on a dry weight basis. This means that products exceeding this limit are classified as marijuana and are subject to different regulations.

- Products must be tested for THC levels to ensure compliance.
- Consumers should check for third-party lab results before purchasing.
Staying within the 0.3% delta-9 THC limit ensures that hemp products remain legal at the federal level. This framework allows for a variety of hemp-derived products, including CBD and some beverages, to flourish in the market.
