Legal
The 2018 Farm Bill legalized industrial hemp at the federal level in the United States. Tetrahydrocannabinolic Acid (THCA) is a compound found in raw hemp plants, and while THC is considered psychoactive, THCA itself is non-intoxicating.
1. Legalization of Industrial Hemp: The bill removed hemp from the controlled substances list, making it legal to cultivate, process, and distribute hemp-derived products, including those containing THCA.
2. Definition of Hemp: Hemp is defined as cannabis with a THC concentration of no more than 0.3%. As THCA is the precursor to THC and is non-intoxicating, products derived from hemp, including those with THCA, are generally considered legal at the federal level.
It’s important to note that while the 2018 Farm Bill provides a federal framework, individual state regulations may vary. Always ensure compliance with both federal and state laws when dealing with hemp-derived products.
