Delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is the primary psychoactive compound found in cannabis. Under the 2018 Farm Bill, hemp-derived products must contain no more than 0.3% delta-9 THC on a dry weight basis to be considered legal. This legal limit differentiates hemp from marijuana, which typically contains higher levels of delta-9 THC.
