Federal overlay · applies from Dec 11, 2026

Federal: total THC (incl. THCA) ≤0.3%, 0.4 mg per container, converted delta-8

From Dec 11, 2026, hemp means total THC including THCA at 0.3% or less by dry weight; final products are capped at 0.4 mg total THC per container; cannabinoids made outside the plant (converted delta-8, delta-10) are excluded. Scheduled — Dec 11 is also the day the federal funding bill expires, and the White House budget office asked Congress in June for 'at minimum, an extension'. Watch the countdown.

Frequently asked questions

›Does 'not yet verified' mean banned?

No. A grey lamp means we have not checked that state and product class against a primary source yet. It is on the verification queue. Verified rows show the statute and the day we checked.

›Does the checker decide whether my product is legal?

No. It shows the state row for a product class: the lamp, the channel, the caps and the statute. Compare your label or certificate of analysis with the caps yourself. The status lamp comes from the rules row only.

›What is a 'licensed channel only' lamp?

The product class may be sold in that state, but only through a licensed channel — a licensed hemp retailer, a liquor or package store, or a marijuana dispensary — often with caps and an age limit. The row names the channel and the statute.
