The short answer: several states have restricted or banned Delta 8 and HHC products, but they are still federally legal thanks to the 2018 Farm Bill, which made all derivatives, isomers, and cannabinoids in hemp legal as long as the final product has less than 0.3% Delta 9 THC.
Due to these state restrictions, we only process orders in states that have no regulations against Delta 8, and we restrict sales in the states that have added regulations.
Because we are friendly folks, we’ve compiled everything we could find to help you know where you can, and can’t, let it all hang out. Check out our map below to get an idea for your state.
