Is THC actually legal?

Not so long ago, ordering THC through the mail meant knowing someone who knew someone who had a, well, steady supply of black market bud. This bud usually came from either the West Coast or Mexico, and its high price was often paired with volatile quality.

(Anybody who was a cannabis connoisseur before it was cool can probably relate to this. Hey, it's not your fault you were ahead of your time!)

More thankful to report that cannabis laws have taken a drastic turn for the better in the past couple of decades. THC itself is being decriminalized in many areas, and one particular form of THC is actually federally legal!

The magic of hemp-derived THC

In 2014 a Federal Farm Bill was approved by Congress and signed into law. That in and of itself isn't anything unusual — Federal farm bills are created every four years — but this one was different. It made provisions for each state to begin growing hemp via university-led pilot programs. [1]

Soon enough University researchers universities and researchers all across the country were growing hemp. And they weren't the only ones; some forward-thinking supplement companies were quick to follow suit.

The only stipulation for all this hemp-growing was that each crop couldn't contain more than 0.3% THC by dry weight. In other words, the Farm Bill clearly delineated between high-THC, low-CBD cannabis and high-CBD, low-THC hemp. Only the latter was legal.

But it didn't take long for CBD manufacturers to realize just how quickly that 0.3% could add up. Harvesting an acre of low-THC hemp flower, for example, results in the accumulation of thousands and thousands of milligrams of THC.

These manufacturers also came to realize that the Farm Bill’s 0.3% figure actually became pretty generous if applied to a finished product. A CBD edible, for example, that weighs 100 grams could theoretically contain 0.3 grams — or 300 milligrams — of hemp-drived THC. (For those of you who don't know, that's enough to power even the most serious stoner for at least 3 days.)
