Is Delta 9 THC Legal?
Short answer: when it’s derived from hemp in concentrations of less than 0.3% by dry weight, yes! In 2018 Congress passed the 2018 Farm Bill, which removed hemp as a federally controlled substance. It also says that any hemp and hemp-derived products that contain less than 0.3% THC by dry weight are considered federally legal in the United States. By this definition, all of our Delta 9 THC products are federally compliant under the standards set by the 2018 Farm Bill. Let’s do the math:
- One cbdMD Delta 9 THC gummy weighs about 6 grams, or 6000 milligrams.
- If we take 0.003 (which is 0.3%) and multiply that by 6000, we are left with 18 milligrams.
- That means that according to the Farm Bill, a 6 gram gummy can contain up to 18 mg of hemp-derived Delta 9 THC.
- We formulated our Delta 9 gummies with only 10 mg of Delta 9 THC, which means the amount of THC we use in our gummies is well below the legal amount.
- But don’t worry, you’ll still feel it working!
We test each of our product batches at independent ISO 17025 certified labs (this just means that the lab is accredited for product testing, sampling, and calibration) to ensure quality and consistency. We also provide those test results right on our product pages so you can see what exactly is in each batch yourself.
- Due to state restrictions, we cannot ship to the following states: Arizona, Georgia, Idaho, Minnesota, Nebraska, Oregon, and Pennsylvania.
Broad Spectrum
Our Superior Broad Spectrum CBD formula is a great option for those who want to be THC-free* but still have overall wellness support. It includes a combination of CBD, CBG, and CBN, but most importantly there’s no detectable THC. You will still get a lot of the calming benefits from using our Superior Broad Spectrum formula, as you get a mixture of complementary cannabinoids. While the effects won’t be as potent as our full spectrum formulas, you can feel comfort in knowing there is zero detectable THC in these products while still getting the support you are looking for.

Our “low potency full spectrum” hemp extract is formulated with a wide range of cannabinoids, including a trace amount of THC and naturally occurring terpenes. Our full spectrum formulas have more cannabinoids and plant properties working together compared to our broad spectrum formulas. Our full spectrum formula will provide a more elevated feeling of calm and relaxation than our broad spectrum products, but not at the same level as our Delta 9 formulas since those have higher milligrams of THC. While there is that trace amount of THC in these products, it is still under the legal limit.
LEARN MORE >>Delta 9 THC
Our “high potency full spectrum” Delta 9 formula includes a full plant profile of cannabinoids and terpenes, including up to 10 mg of THC per serving.

Those who are looking for a greater feeling of calm, extra support for sleep, and better balance throughout the day will be happy with the Delta 9 THC formula.

DOES DELTA 9 GET YOU HIGH?
When people talk about THC, they are mainly talking about the Delta 9 variant of THC. If you ingest enough THC, you will feel the "high" feeling associated with it. Our gummies include 10 mg of THC, so a high will be felt if you ingest a full gummy. However, we recommend that you stick with our serving size – a quarter of a gummy – when starting out, and then adjust as needed down the road.
Can Delta 9 be shipped?
As long as cannabis products have less than 0.3% THC by dry weight, including Delta 9 THC, they are legal to sell in shops and online. That means that it is totally legal to ship directly to your home. Unfortunately, due to state restrictions, we cannot ship to Arizona, Georgia, Idaho, Minnesota, Nebraska, Oregon, and Pennsylvania.
What is stronger, Delta 9 or Delta 8?
Delta 8 THC is also naturally occurring in hemp, but at much lower concentrations when compared to Delta 9 THC. Because of this, we can create products with Delta 9 THC without having to synthetically recreate it, which makes the product less manufactured and more potent.
Is Delta 9 bad?
We think Delta 9 THC can be good for many people. However, just like in anything in life, there can be too much of a good thing. We recommend sticking to our serving sizes to avoid any negative effects, but you can adjust your serving as needed after a few weeks. Slow and steady wins the race!
What are the benefits of Delta 9?
Delta 9 can work with your endocannabinoid system to give you a sense of calm and feeling of balance within yourself. Delta 9 has also been attested to help to support quality of sleep, moods, appetite, stress management, and relief from minor discomfort.
Does Delta 9 show up on a drug test?
Our Delta 9 products do contain THC, which can show up on a drug test. This may result in a consumer who is being tested for marijuana to fail a drug test. If drug testing is part of your life, you can still get many of the same benefits from our Superior Broad Spectrum products.
Is it legal to purchase Delta 9?
Thanks to the 2018 Farm Bill, it is federally legal to purchase Delta 9 THC as long as it is under the legal limit of 0.3% of dry weight. Our Delta 9 products are well within that standard. Due to federal restrictions, we cannot ship to Arizona, Georgia, Idaho, Minnesota, Nebraska, Oregon, and Pennsylvania.
