Frequently asked questions
›Is THCA being banned?
Federally, THCA counts toward total THC from December 11, 2026 (P.L. 119-37 §781 as delayed by P.L. 119-103 §2019). Hemp with more than 0.3% total THC including THCA is then no longer hemp. Several states already count THCA today (Texas since March 31, 2026; Tennessee since January 1, 2026). Check your state and the date in the checker.
›Can I still buy THCA flower in Texas?
Not lawfully at retail. Texas counts THCA toward total delta-9 (0.877 × THCA) since March 31, 2026, which puts high-THCA flower out of compliance for sale. The rules row on the Texas page carries the statute and the check date.
›Is delta-9 legal in Texas?
Hemp delta-9 edibles and drinks at 0.3% or less by dry weight are legal in Texas for adults 21+ from DSHS-registered sellers, as of our check date. Delta-8 products are covered by the Schedule I definition that DSHS reinstated in a notice published July 10, 2026. See the Texas page.
›What changes on Nov 12 versus Dec 11, 2026?
Nov 12: only products with cannabinoids the plant cannot make (for example THC-O) leave the federal hemp definition. Dec 11: total THC including THCA must be 0.3% or less, products are capped at 0.4 mg THC per container, and converted delta-8 is excluded. Dec 11 may move with the federal funding bill. The countdown tracks both.
›Will the federal hemp change affect states where marijuana is legal?
Yes for hemp products: the federal definition applies everywhere. State-licensed marijuana markets are separate and are not changed by the hemp redefinition. Many states already route intoxicating hemp products into their licensed marijuana channel (Ohio, New Jersey, and from Nov 12 Illinois and Missouri).
›In what states are THC drinks legal?
It depends on the state's cap and channel: some allow them in any store, some only in liquor stores, some ban them. Pick THC drinks on the map or in the checker to see each state's lamp, cap, statute and check date. Federally, drinks over 0.4 mg THC per container leave the hemp definition on Dec 11, 2026.
›Can I get THCA shipped to Tennessee?
Tennessee ended shipping and delivery of hemp-derived cannabinoid products; sales are limited to TABC-licensed retailers, to buyers 21 and over, since July 1, 2026, and THCA counts toward total THC. See the Tennessee page.
›Is it illegal to have a THC pen in North Carolina?
N.C.G.S. 90-87 (read October 8, 2026) excludes hemp products from its marijuana definition and sets no licence, age limit or cap; a pen with converted delta-8 or a lab-made cannabinoid is unclear under G.S. 90-89(7). HB 328 awaits a House vote; it would add a 0.4 mg per container cap from Nov 12, 2026, and a 21+ rule that is drafted to take effect July 15, 2026. Federally, vape products over 0.4 mg THC per container leave the hemp definition on Dec 11, 2026. See the North Carolina page. Not legal advice.
›Do businesses pay to be listed here?
No. Nothing on this site is paid for yet. Every listing is free. If paid 'Featured' places are added later, each will be labelled, and it will never change the order, any status lamp or any checked fact.
