The federal rule

The 2018 Farm Bill and the 0.3% line

The 2018 Farm Bill legalized hemp — defined as cannabis containing no more than 0.3% Δ9 THC by dry weight — and its derivatives at the federal level. A gummy made from hemp that stays under that threshold is, federally, a hemp product rather than a controlled substance. Anything above 0.3% Δ9 by dry weight is legally “marijuana” and regulated differently.

  • Hemp-derived Δ9 within 0.3% by dry weight: federally legal.
  • Above 0.3% Δ9: federally a controlled substance.
  • Other cannabinoids (Δ8, HHC): derived from hemp but addressed less clearly, and increasingly restricted at the state level.
Not legal advice

This page is general information, not legal advice. Cannabis law changes quickly and varies by state and locality. Confirm your own state’s current rules before buying or traveling with any THC product.

The state layer

Why your state still matters

Federal legality is only half the picture. States set their own rules, and some restrict hemp-derived THC, cap per-serving milligrams, ban specific cannabinoids like Δ8, or require age verification and lab testing. A product can be federally compliant yet restricted where you live.

  • Some states mirror the federal 0.3% standard.
  • Some cap THC milligrams per serving or per package.
  • Some specifically restrict Δ8 or HHC.
  • Most require buyers to be 21+.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Are THC gummies federally legal?
Hemp-derived gummies containing no more than 0.3% Δ9 THC by dry weight are legal at the federal level under the 2018 Farm Bill. State laws can still restrict them.
Can THC gummies be shipped to my state?
Many hemp-derived products ship to most states, but some states restrict them. Reputable retailers screen shipping destinations; always confirm your state’s rules.
Is Delta 8 treated the same as Delta 9?
No. Hemp-derived Δ9 within the 0.3% limit is comparatively settled, while Δ8 and HHC face more state-level restrictions. Check your state for each cannabinoid.
Do I have to be 21 to buy?
Most reputable retailers require buyers to be at least 21. Some states set their own minimum age. Always follow the stricter of the two.
