Where is THC-A Legalized Throughout the Good Ol’ USA?

Where THCA is Legal
May 2, 2023 | Elyxr's Blog

THC-A is the raw precursor cannabinoid to delta 9 THC, and it’s found naturally in raw cannabis.  You’ve probably noticed by now that more and more THC-A products are popping up on the market – mainly, products that are intended to be heated, like vapes, dabs, and flower, to offer a delta 9 THC high.  Once THC-A reaches a certain temperature, it converts into delta 9 THC, offering a way to enjoy that classic high through the hemp plant.  But, is THC-A actually legal throughout the United States?  Let’s find out.

What Does Federal Law Say About THC-A?

THC-A is federally legal under the 2018 Farm Bill, as the law states that all hemp products must contain a maximum of 0.3% delta 9 THC to be sold legally.  THC-A may be delta 9’s precursor, but it’s technically a different cannabinoid, which means that THC-A is totally unrestricted under federal law.

Is THC-A Legal in Each of the 50 States?

THC-A may be federally legal, but the reality is that not every state is thrilled about its newfound popularity.  Some states have enacted a new law requiring a maximum of 0.3% “total THC,” which refers to a combination of delta 9 and THC-A, to prevent high THC-A products from entering the hands of state residents.  Let’s look at each of the 50 states to see what they have to say.
