Federal and State Hemp Regulations

Understanding Hemp Laws

The Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018 (commonly known as the 2018 Farm Bill) established a federal framework for the cultivation and production of hemp in the United States.

Under federal law, hemp is defined as Cannabis sativa L. and any part of that plant, including its cannabinoids, extracts, derivatives, and other naturally occurring compounds, containing no more than 0.3% Delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) on a dry-weight basis.

The 2018 Farm Bill removed hemp, as defined above, from the federal Controlled Substances Act and authorized its production under approved federal, state, or tribal regulatory programs.

The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) oversees the federal hemp production program, while the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) maintains authority over products intended for human and animal consumption.

State Regulations

Although hemp is federally regulated, individual states and federally recognized Native American tribes may establish additional laws regarding the cultivation, processing, transportation, sale, possession, and use of hemp-derived products.

As a result, hemp laws can vary significantly from one jurisdiction to another.

State regulations may include:

• Licensing or registration requirements

• Product testing and labeling standards

• Restrictions on specific cannabinoids

• Packaging and marketing requirements

• Age restrictions for purchasing hemp-derived products

Consumers are responsible for understanding the laws applicable in their state or locality before purchasing or using hemp-derived products.

Making Informed Decisions

We encourage every customer to become familiar with hemp products before making a purchase.

Before using any hemp-derived product, consider:

• Reading the product label and directions for use.

• Reviewing the available Certificate of Analysis (COA).

• Understanding the laws in your state or locality.

• Consulting a qualified healthcare professional if you have questions regarding use, medications, or existing medical conditions.

Every individual responds differently to hemp-derived products. Factors such as age, body chemistry, metabolism, body weight, and personal tolerance may influence an individual's experience.

If you have questions about our products, our team is always happy to help provide product information and direct you to available educational resources.
