With a few notable exceptions, Delta 9 THC is a controlled substance federally in the US. The 2018 Farm Bill did allow for the production and consumption of hemp-derived Delta-9 THC, under certain caveats. Let’s take a closer look into the legal status of Delta 9 THC in the US.

Delta 9 THC (delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol) is a form of THC (major cannabis and hemp cannabinoid). THC is responsible for the psychoactive effects hemp and marijuana can produce at a high dosage. At a lower dosage, THC can be beneficial for sleep, alleviate anxiety, and reduce pain, especially when combined with CBD, another major cannabinoid.
Delta 9 derived from marijuana is legal in some states but remains illegal on a federal level in the US as of 2022. However, products containing Delta 9 THC derived from hemp are federally legal if they comply with certain conditions.
With the introduction of The Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018 (better known as the 2018 Farm Bill), Delta 9 obtained federal legality in the United States.
The 2018 Farm Bill protects the production of legalized industrial hemp products—whether they be edibles, clothing, or any other product made from industrial hemp— on a federal level across the US.
The Farm Bill’s definition of hemp defines this compound as a cannabis plant, or derivative thereof, that contains not more than 0.3 percent delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol on a dry weight basis.
The federal law allows the production, selling, and consumption of Delta 9 under these two Farm Bill limitations:
The legal amount of Delta 9 THC per product is less than 0.3% of THC by dry weight. All nama CBD edibles with Delta 9 are in line with the Farm Bill and thus legal in the US on a federal level.
Delta 9 is legal on a federal level, but each state can choose to implement a House Bill that redefines the legality of this compound in said state.
Some states allow for all regulated cannabis consumption for people over 21, while others only allow products made in accordance with the Farm Bill. Idaho is the only state where all forms of THC are illegal to buy and consume.
Even though hemp-derived Delta 9 THC is federally legal in the US, it is not legal to purchase or consume Delta 9 products (or any THC products) in Idaho.
That’s because the Idaho Uniform Controlled Substances Act considers all forms of THC a controlled substance. This act prohibits all intoxicating hemp products (products that contain any percentage of THC or its isomers).
While you can purchase our gummies with broad-spectrum CBD extract from this state, none of our edibles will be available for purchase in this state until Idaho legalizes Delta-9 products derived from hemp.
As of 2022, Delta-9 products that are compliant with the 2018 Farm Bill are legal in all 48 states, as Idaho and Kansas don’t allow hemp products that contain any THC compound.
The legal status of Delta 9 is subject to change in any state, so keep up with Delta 9 THC legality law changes in your state if you consume products that contain this compound. All nama CBD Delta 9 edibles are compliant with the Farm Bill and legal in all states besides Idaho.
Yes, Delta 9 is an intoxicating product and will certainly get you high at a sufficient dosage. However, low amounts of Delta 9 THC won’t cause an intoxicating effect but will relax you, alleviate pain, and ease anxiety.

The psychoactive effects of Delta 9 vary based on how much of this compound you take and your previous experience with it. When consuming Delta 9, you can expect the following effects*:
*as reported by research and users with experience in taking Delta 9 THC
It takes anywhere from 5 mg to 20 mg or more of Delta 9 to get you high, depending on your previous experience with the compound.

Our THC gummies come in a range of dosages, so you can easily choose a product that fits your needs.

Yes, Delta 9 is safe to consume if you are 21 and over. Adult-use cannabis consumption does not cause any long-term side effects.

Legal Delta 9 is derived from hemp using a CO2 extraction process. This process extracts all hemp compounds, after which the extract is formulated to contain only Delta 9, only CBD, or both. Another way to extract Delta 9 is isomerization. In this case, a hemp-derived CBD extract is converted into Delta 9 or other THC isomers (Delta 8, Delta 10, THC-O).
Delta 9 THC is stronger than Delta 8. Delta-8 and Delta-10 THC are hemp cannabinoids similar to Delta 9, though they produce much milder effects.
Due to their mild effects, gummies that contain Delta 8 could be a great choice for THC newbies. To learn more about the differences between Delta 9 and Delta 8, check out our detailed Delta-9 vs Delta-8 THC breakdown.
