Long answer: It all depends on how the Delta-8 is purchased. As we know, Delta 9 remains highly illegal in many parts of the country (including Tennessee). Since 1970, delta-9-THC, along with heroin and LSD, have been classified as a Schedule I substance under U.S. federal law. When delta-9-THC is chemically converted to delta-8-THC, delta-8 is considered illegal. When converted from CBD from hemp, it is legal under federal law under HR 2: The Agricultural Improvement Act of 2018, also known as Farm Bill 2018. According to this bill, hemp is defined as “the plant Cannabis sativa L. and any part of this plant, including its seeds and all its derivatives, extracts, cannabinoids, isomers, acids, salts and salts of isomers, whether they grow or not, with a concentration of delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol not exceeding 0.3% on a dry weight basis. “Delta-8-THC is an isomer of CBD, a derivative of hemp and CBD, a cannabinoid found in hemp, and remains legal as long as the final product contains less than 0.3% delta-9-THC.

We encourage all customers to research their state`s current laws regarding industrial hemp flowers. All hemp flowers contain less than 0.3% delta 9 tetrahydrocannabinol. Each state has separate laws when it comes to industrial hemp, so BudKups gives no assurance or guarantee that the products sold are legal in your state. You are therefore invited to do independent research and learn about the laws applicable to your state. Ingredients derived from parts of the cannabis plant that do not contain THC or CBD may not fall within the scope of paragraph 301(ll) and may therefore be added to foods. For example, as we saw in Question #12, certain hemp seed ingredients may be legally marketed in human food. However, all food ingredients must comply with all applicable laws and regulations. For example, any substance intentionally added to food is a food additive under the law and is therefore subject to FDA review and approval prior to placing on the market, unless the substance is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by qualified experts under the conditions of its intended use, or that the use of the substance is otherwise exempt from the definition of a food additive (sections 201(s) and 409 of the FD&C Act [21 U.S.C.
ยงยง 321(s) and 348]). Aside from the three hemp seed ingredients mentioned in question #12, no other cannabis or cannabis-derived ingredients have been the subject of a food additive petition, GRAS notification evaluated, or otherwise approved by the FDA for use in food. Food companies that wish to use cannabis or cannabis-derived ingredients in their edibles are subject to the relevant laws and regulations that apply to all food products, including those related to food additives and GRAS processes.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit in Hemp Industries Association, v. Drug Enforcement Administration, 357 F.3d 1012 (9th Cir. 2004), recognized that non-psychoactive hemp extracted from “mature stems” or is “seed oil and cake” from the cannabis plant falls within the clearly worded exception to the CSA definition of “marijuana.” Id. at p. 1017. As a result, the Court found that the government (i.e., the DEA) does not have the authority under the current legislation to “completely prohibit THC from parts of cannabis plants that are excluded from the CSA definition of `marijuana` or that are not synthetic.” Id. at 1018. Industrial hemp is legally imported under the Controlled Substances Act (CSA). Since 1937, the federal Marijuana Control Act has excluded the stem, fiber, oil, and sterilized seeds of the cannabis sativa L. plant, commonly known as hemp, from the definition of marijuana.
