Is Delta 9 THC Legal?

If you’re wondering why you’re able to purchase our Delta 9 THC products online without a medical card, you’ve come to the right place. The answer is simple: Delta 9 THC is legal—when derived from hemp.

Hemp vs. Marijuana: The Key Legal Difference

Delta 9 THC is a naturally occurring cannabinoid found in both hemp and marijuana. However, the distinction between hemp and marijuana under federal law is based on THC concentration:

• Marijuana (federally illegal) is cannabis containing more than 0.3% Delta 9 THC on a dry-weight basis.
• Hemp (federally legal) is cannabis containing less than 0.3% Delta 9 THC on a dry-weight basis.

Under the 2018 Farm Bill, hemp-derived cannabinoids, including Delta 9 THC, are legal as long as the final product contains no more than 0.3% Delta 9 THC by dry weight.

Hemp-Derived Delta 9: Why It’s Legal

Because of this legal distinction, hemp-derived Delta 9 THC products—such as gummies, edibles, and beverages—are federally legal and can be shipped nationwide to states that permit them. Unlike marijuana-derived Delta 9 THC, which is heavily restricted at the federal level and in many states, hemp-derived Delta 9 THC is accessible in more locations without the need for a medical marijuana card.

State Laws on Delta 9 THC

While federal law allows for the sale and distribution of hemp-derived Delta 9 THC, individual states have the power to regulate it as they see fit. This means some states have placed restrictions or outright banned Delta 9 THC, even if it’s sourced from hemp.

At RESTART, we actively advocate for clearer, science-based regulations on hemp-derived cannabinoids at both the state and federal levels. Through our leadership with the Texas Hemp Coalition and participation in the U.S. Hemp Roundtable, we are working to protect consumer access, support small businesses, and push for fair regulations that ensure safe, transparent, and high-quality cannabis products.

How Did Hemp-Derived Delta 9 Become Legal?

The 2018 Farm Bill: A Game-Changer for Cannabis Policy

For decades, hemp and marijuana were treated as the same plant under U.S. drug laws—even though they have fundamentally different uses and effects. But in December 2018, Congress passed the 2018 Farm Bill, which legally separated hemp from marijuana and removed hemp from the list of Schedule I drugs under the Controlled Substances Act.

This pivotal legislation:
✔ Defined hemp as cannabis with less than 0.3% Delta 9 THC by dry weight
✔ Legalized the sale, production, and distribution of hemp-derived cannabinoids
✔ Enabled consumers nationwide to access hemp-derived Delta 9 THC products

Why We Fight for Better Hemp Policy

At RESTART, we believe in fair, science-backed hemp regulations that:

• Protect consumer access to high-quality, safe, and transparent hemp products
• Ensure fair market conditions for retailers and manufacturers
• Promote education and research on cannabinoids like Delta 9 THC, CBD, CBG, and CBN

Our work with the Texas Hemp Coalition and U.S. Hemp Roundtable allows us to fight for better laws at the state and federal levels—so that consumers can continue to enjoy the benefits of hemp-derived cannabinoids without unnecessary restrictions.
