Hemp derived Delta 9 is a form of cannabinoid extract. It is the common active ingredient found in Delta 9 THC gummies. Legally, products like these are similar to CBD and other hemp products being sold online. They are legal because they comply with the 2018 US Farm Bill. Provisions have been made.

The Bottom Line

As long as any hemp-derived product contains less than 0.3% delta 9 THC by dry weight volume it can be bought, sold and consumed as a hemp product and not a marijuana product.

Confusion Around Hemp Derived Delta 9 Products and The Law

There is still a lot of confusion around delta 9 and its legality, but times have changed and so have the laws. Cannabis helps people enjoy life. Of course, one of the best ways to enjoy the full benefits of hemp derived Delta 9 THC is edible form. At the end of the day, you can follow the law and get a good dose of THC from the flower.

Of course, not all Delta 9 THC product manufacturers follow the law. The ones that do follow the provisions set out in the 2018 Farm Bill. The Farm Bill says that all cannabinoid products must contain no more than .03% Delta -9 THC. That amount is calculated on a ‘dry weight’ basis.  

Above all else, the Delta 9 extract used to the products must be derived from industrial hemp plants, and not recreational marijuana.

Current Trends

Many of the Delta 9 THC gummy products currently being sold have 5 to 10mg in each piece. How do you manufacture something with that many milligrams that contains .03% Delta 9 THC or less?

The fact that the THC content in products is determined by ‘dry weight’, not by volume, is very important. Each of our Nyce Hemp gummies, for instance, will will deliver 5mg of the cannabinoid and still be in compliance with the 2018 Farm Bill.
