- In short
- Missouri's Schedule I lists tetrahydrocannabinols 'naturally contained in a plant of the genus Cannabis (cannabis plant), except industrial hemp, as well as synthetic equivalents of the substances contained in the cannabis plant' and 'synthetic substances, derivatives and their isomers' 'with similar chemical structure and pharmacological activity', 'such as' '1 cis or trans tetrahydrocannabinol', '6 cis or trans tetrahydrocannabinol' and '3,4 cis or trans tetrahydrocannabinol' 'and their optical isomers', and 'Any compounds of these structures, regardless of numerical designation of atomic positions covered' (RSMo 195.017.2(5)(nn), read Oct 9, 2026). A search of that section on Oct 9, 2026 found no sentence on chemically converted cannabinoids; the words 'delta-8', 'HHC' and 'THC-O' are not in it. Ask a Missouri lawyer before you sell. HHC is federally Schedule I by name since May 4, 2026 (91 FR 23913). From Nov 12, 2026 cannabinoids the plant cannot produce are marijuana (DHSS licensees only), the same day as the federal exclusion.

Federal: cannabinoids the plant cannot make leave the hemp definition
From Nov 12, 2026, products containing cannabinoids that are not capable of being naturally produced by the plant (for example THC-O) are no longer hemp under P.L. 119-37 §781 as limited by P.L. 119-103 §2019. Everything else waits until Dec 11, 2026. On Oct 8, 2026 we found no FDA list that names the cannabinoids, on FDA's cannabis page or in a Federal Register search for FDA documents (a dated search, not a confirmation).
General information from public sources with the statute and the check date on every row — not legal advice. Grey means not yet confirmed.

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.
