Is Delta-9 federally legal?

Key Takeaways

Hemp-derived Delta-9 is federally legal today but the regulatory framework it operates under is actively evolving. The 2018 Farm Bill established the current standard: Delta-9 THC under 0.3% by dry weight makes a product legal hemp. That’s still in effect. What’s changing is how hemp products will be evaluated under Public Law 119-37, passed November 2025 and scheduled to take effect November 2026. That law introduces a Total THC framework – calculated as Total THC = (THCA x 0.877) + Delta-9 THC – which changes how compliance is measured across the industry. The hemp industry is actively engaged in the legislative process around implementation. JustKana is already testing our Delta-9 gummies against the Total THC formula. State laws add another layer some states restrict hemp-derived Delta-9 regardless of federal status. Always check your local regulations before ordering.
