Certain types of Delta 9 THC products are legal in Pennsylvania, including all our THC gummies and Delta 9 edibles.
Read on for the full scoop on the legality of Delta 9 THC in Pennsylvania.
Is Delta 9 THC Legal in Pennsylvania?
Pennsylvania passed the Senate Bill NO 335 in 2019, providing new regulation for hemp products containing Delta 9 THC.
Pennsylvania legalized hemp when Senator Judith L. Schwank signed the Senate Bill 335 in 2019. Pennsylvania was the second state to submit a state plan to regulate hemp to USDA on January 22, 2019 as a response to the 2018 Federal Farm Bill, which legalized hemp at the national level.
How Is Delta 9 THC Legal?
Under the 2018 Farm Bill, Delta 9 THC-containing products are legal on a federal level in the US, provided they meet the following conditions.
- The Delta 9 THC is derived from hemp
- Products contain 0.3% or less of THC by dry weight
Pennsylvania followed up with similar state legislation authorizing the use of Delta 9 THC products that meet Farm Bill criteria.
Let’s get into the details.
The 2018 Farm Bill
The 2018 Farm Bill authorized the widespread production of hemp derived products on a federal level, and removed hemp from the DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration) list of Controlled Substances.
This Bill differentiated the definition of industrial hemp from marijuana, which is cultivated for its high THC content. Federally legal hemp products, according to the Farm Bill, must contain less than 0.3% of THC by dry weight, and the source of THC must be industrial hemp.
Even though hemp is legal on a federal level, each state can determine which hemp-derived products are legal in said state. For example, Delta 8 THC products are legal on a federal level but illegal in a number of states.
In Pennsylvania, marijuana-derived Delta 8 is only legal for registered medical cannabis patients.
Other THC tinctures, THC isomers, including HHC and THC-O, are legal, as are hemp-derived CBD, CBG, CBC oils, and other cannabinoid derivative products under state law.
Pennsylvania Senate Bill NO 335
Soon after the US Federal government passed the Farm Bill, Senator Schwank signed the Senate Bill NO 335 in 2019 which legalized industrial hemp in Pennsylvania in line with the limits suggested by the Farm Bill.
While there is a concentration limit for hemp-derived Delta-9 concentrations which can only be 0.3% or less on a dry weight basis, there is no concentration limit for Delta 8 and CBD in Pensylvania.
Medical Marijuana in Pennsylvania
The term “medical marijuana” refers to using the whole unprocessed marijuana plant or its basic extracts to treat a disease or symptom. Studies show that the marijuana plant contains chemicals that may help treat a range of illnesses or symptoms, and can assist patients suffering from serious medical conditions by alleviating pain and improving their quality of life.
The Pennsylvania Department of Health began the process of implementing the state’s Medical Marijuana Program which offers medical marijuana to patients who are under a physician’s care for the treatment of a serious medical condition.
In 2016, Governor Wolf signed Senate Bill 3, legalizing medical marijuana in Pennsylvania, and from February 2018 medical marijuana became available for patients with serious medical conditions who will be able to access medical marijuana with a physician’s certification at designated state dispensaries.
For now, recreational marijuana usage remains illegal in Pennsylvania, and the only way to legally possess the substance is by having a valid medical marijuana card. For now, the annual medical marijuana card cost is $50.
Sec. 2 Definitions
The following words and phrases when used in this act shall have the meanings given to them in this section unless the context clearly indicates otherwise:

(3) Contains any part of the hemp plant, including naturally occurring cannabinoids, compounds, concentrates, extracts, isolates, resins, or derivatives.
(4) Contains a delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol concentration of not more than 0.3%.
Sec. 3 Manufacturing of food products
Each manufacturer of food containing industrial hemp must comply with the following:
(1) Each part of the hemp plant utilized in the food product must come from a state that has an established and approved industrial hemp program or a country that inspects or regulates hemp under food safety or equivalent criteria to ensure safety for human consumption.
(2) The industrial hemp producer or grower must be in good standing and in compliance with the governing laws of the state or country of origin.

What is Delta 9 THC?
Delta 9 tetrahydrocannabinol (also known as Delta 9 THC or Δ-9-THC) is one of the many forms of THC found in hemp and marijuana plants. Tetrahydrocannabinols (THC compounds) are among the 113 cannabinoids recognized in cannabis.
Delta 9 THC is found in both hemp and marijuana plants. THC in hemp has been a controversial topic in recent years. Hemp plants contain very low levels of Delta 9 THC, but because of their close relationship to marijuana plants, they are often confused with them. This misunderstanding has led to a great deal of confusion and debate surrounding the legal status of hemp products.
All THC compounds produce psychoactive effects and make you feel high at a sufficient dosage, with Delta 9 THC providing the strongest effects. Our products contain microdoses of THC: enough for you to experience the many benefits of THC without experiencing unwanted psychoactive effects.
Delta 9 vs Delta 8
Delta 8 and Delta 9 THC are both cannabinoids that are found in marijuana. While both Delta 8 and Delta 9 THC offer a variety of potential benefits, they each have their own unique effects.
Delta-9 THC is the most well-known type of THC. It is the main psychoactive component in cannabis, and it is responsible for the plant's signature "high." Delta-9 THC as a more potent Delta strain of THC is also known for its medical benefits, which include pain relief, anti-inflammatory effects, and more.
Delta 8 is less potent than Delta 9, making it a good choice for those who are new to cannabis or looking for a more gentle experience.
In terms of medical benefits, both cannabinoids have been shown to be effective at reducing anxiety and pain.
In terms of medical marijuana, Delta 8 THC is sometimes used to treat cancer patients who are undergoing chemotherapy, as it can help to reduce nausea and vomiting. It is also being studied as a potential treatment for Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia. Delta 8 has also been shown to help with nausea and appetite loss, while Delta 9 can improve focus and concentration.
However, more research is needed to confirm the efficacy of Delta 8 THC and Delta 9 in these potential applications.

Generally, Delta 9 THC is stronger than Delta 8 THC. According to a recent study, the effects of Delta 8 are much milder, with participants comparing this compound to ‘Delta 9’s younger sibling’. Due to their milder effects, gummies with Delta 8 are a great choice for people new to products containing hemp.
Is Delta legal in PA?
In Pennsylvania, Delta 8 and Delta 9 are legal to use, possess, sell, and distribute. All Delta 8 and Delta 9 products must be derived from hemp plants carrying no more than 0.3% THC dry weight. While Delta 9 is not yet widely available, it can be purchased online or through specialty retailers.
Is Delta-10 legal in Pennsylvania?
Yes, Delta 10 THC is legal in Pennsylvania in certain forms. As with Delta 8 and Delta 9, products containing less than 0.3% of hemp-derived Delta 10 by dry weight are legal.
The legality status of Delta 10 in Pennsylvania is subject to change, so it’s important to stay informed and understand the law around industrial hemp and its byproducts if you plan on consuming Delta 10, or any other THC product.
Is Delta 9 legal in all states?
In December 2018, the U.S. Congress passed the 2018 Farm Bill, federally legalizing hemp, defined as cannabis (Cannabis sativa L.) and derivatives of cannabis with extremely low concentrations of the psychoactive compound delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) (no more than 0.3 percent THC on a dry weight basis), from the definition of marijuana in the Controlled Substances Act (CSA).
These products are now legal in 49 states which essentially follow the Farm Bill when it comes to Delta-9. Idaho is the only state where hemp Delta-9 is explicitly banned.
Is Delta 9 federally legal?
The Farm Bill that was passed in 2018 made it legal to grow and sell hemp-derived products that contain 0.3% or less delta-9 THC by dry weight. This law applies to all states in the US, plus Puerto Rico and D.C.
However, some states have additional restrictions on delta-9 THC, and California is the only state with general restrictions on hemp-derived delta-9 THC. These restrictions involve testing requirements and packaging restrictions.
Despite these restrictions, hemp delta-9 THC products are still legal in 42 states, making them widely available to consumers across the country.
Is THC-O legal in Pennsylvania?
THC-O is currently legal in Pennsylvania. Although it is federally legal, THC-O is not legal in all US states, and many have revoked its legal status in recent years due to its potency. If you consume THC-O in Pennsylvania, keep track of any changes to hemp industry laws that may jeopardize its legality status.
Can I fly with Delta 9 gummies?
Yes, you can fly to and from 49 US states with hemp-derived Delta 9 gummies that contain less than 0.3% of THC, except Idaho. If you are traveling abroad, the legality status of hemp products in the country you’re traveling to will dictate whether you can fly with Delta 9. Remember, hemp is a controlled substance in many countries, and even fully illegal in some.
Is Delta 9 an indica or sativa?
Delta 9 itself is neither an indica or a sativa, but it can come from either of the two main strain types of the cannabis plant: Cannabis sativa and Cannabis indica. These cannabis plants produce different effects, as indica strains contain more CBD, leading to a more relaxing high. Unlike hemp-derived Delta 9, cannabis-derived Delta 9 THC is not federally legal.
Does Delta 9 show up on drug tests?
Yes, Delta 9 will show up on a drug test, as will all other forms of THC. If you know you’re going to be drug tested, stop taking products with THC about a month or so before the test, even if the product in question is fully legal.
