Is This Legal?
Absolutely!
THCA is 100% legal at the federal level. However, several states have began placing in state restrictions or outright bans on its sale and possession. In many of these states (such as Georgia), consumers can still legally purchase THCA from out-of-state vendors, but we always recommend checking your local regulations to ensure you’re in compliance with state law.
Our business is operating in North Carolina, which for now remains very friendly toward THCA. So we plan on sticking around for a while to continue supplying you with clean, high quality products delivered straight to your doorstep.
Because legislation can change quickly, we encourage you to stay up to date on any potential legal shifts in your state or region. We’ll do our best to keep our customers informed, but ultimately, it’s the buyer’s responsibility to understand and follow any state or local guidelines regarding THCA.
Where Does Your State Stand?
THCA is federally legal under the 2018 Farm Bill, as long as it is derived from hemp and contains no more than 0.3% Delta-9 THC by dry weight. However, state laws can differ, with some allowing THCA freely while others impose restrictions or outright bans.
THCA Is Legal in Most States
The majority of U.S. states permit THCA, either explicitly or through general hemp laws that align with federal regulations. In these states, THCA products can be legally purchased, possessed, and consumed, as long as they meet the federal threshold for Delta-9 THC. This means that in most parts of the country, you can legally enjoy THCA without worry.
States with Restrictions or Uncertainty
A handful of states have implemented stricter hemp regulations, limiting or banning THCA due to concerns over its potential to convert into THC when heated. Some states regulate it under their controlled substances laws, while others impose specific testing or labeling requirements that may affect its availability. Laws in these states are often evolving, so staying informed is Important.
Why You Should Check Your Local Laws
State hemp laws are constantly being updated, and enforcement can vary. Even if THCA is legal in your state today, it’s always a good idea to check for recent changes before making a purchase. You can look up your state's hemp laws through official government websites or consult a legal expert if you're unsure.
