One of the most common questions we receive at Ziggy's Miami is: is THCA actually legal? The answer requires understanding the 2018 Farm Bill and how it defines hemp.
What the 2018 Farm Bill Says
The Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018 federally legalized hemp and hemp-derived products in the United States. It defines hemp as Cannabis sativa L. and any part of that plant with a delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol concentration of not more than 0.3 percent on a dry weight basis. THCA is a separate cannabinoid — not Delta-9 THC itself. Hemp-derived products that contain less than 0.3% Delta-9 THC fall within the legal definition of hemp under federal law.
State Laws: Where It Gets More Complex
While federal law permits hemp-derived THCA products, individual states have enacted their own regulations. Some states restrict or ban certain hemp-derived cannabinoids, including THCA. Always verify the current regulations in your state before purchasing. At Ziggy's Miami, we do not ship to states where hemp-derived THCA products are restricted.
How to Confirm a Product Is Compliant
- A Certificate of Analysis (COA) from an independent, third-party laboratory
- Delta-9 THC content confirmed below 0.3% on a dry weight basis
- Clear labeling identifying the product as hemp-derived
- Batch numbers that correspond to the COA on file
