How is this Legal?

In recent years, cannabis products have become increasingly popular, with many people turning to them for alternative wellness solutions. As the market for these products grows, so too does the understanding and legal framework surrounding the various compounds found within cannabis. This article aims to clarify the legal status of cannabis compounds, highlighting why products containing specific compounds are federally legal and can be shipped to most states in the United States.

What type of THC does AllGoodDaze use?

The majority of our flowers and vape cartridges contain hemp-derived THCa (tetrahydrocannabinolic acid), a non-psychoactive precursor to THC found in cannabis. In its raw form, THCa does not induce the intoxicating effects commonly associated with THC (tetrahydrocannabinol). It is only through the process of heating, such as when smoking or vaping, that THCa is converted into THC via decarboxylation, resulting in the psychoactive "high."

Other products in our lineup, including edibles and concentrates that are not subjected to heat during consumption, mainly feature hemp-derived Delta-8 THC and/or Delta-9 THC. These compounds are psychoactive but differ in their molecular structures from THCa, leading to variations in their effects and potencies. Both Delta-8 and Delta-9 THC are derived from marijuana and hemp; however, the commercial availability of Delta-8 THC typically comes from the chemical conversion of CBD extracted from hemp.

Are products made with THCa, Delta-8 THC, and Delta-9 THC federally legal?

Indeed, the cultivation and sale of hemp-derived products, including those containing THCa, Delta-8 THC, and Delta-9 THC, are legally grounded in the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018, also known as the Farm Bill. This significant piece of legislation removed hemp (defined as cannabis with less than 0.3% THC by dry weight) from the controlled substances list, distinguishing it legally from marijuana. The Farm Bill also specifically mentions Delta-8 THC, affirming its status as a legal, hemp-derived substance.

Products that comply with the Farm Bill's requirements are permitted to be shipped to most states within the US. Beyond the THC content restrictions, the bill imposes stringent guidelines on hemp cultivation. It must be carried out by licensed growers in compliance with state, tribal, or federal laws. Manufacturers like AllGoodDaze diligently test and monitor their cannabis products to ensure they meet these regulatory standards.

Where does AllGoodDaze cannabis come from?

All of our cannabis is sourced from small-scale American hemp farms. These growers, who avoid using pesticides and collectively possess decades of experience, are committed to producing the highest quality hemp. The cultivation of top-notch hemp involves a blend of skill, science, patience, and passion. Our growers have developed proprietary hemp varieties over years, offering a product that stands out for its quality and distinction from the cheaper alternatives flooding the market.

How do federal and state laws differ?

While hemp-derived products are federally legal, it's important to recognize that state laws can vary significantly. Some states may offer more lenient regulations, whereas others might impose stricter restrictions or even outright bans on certain cannabis-derived products.

Is it lawful to travel with cannabis products in the US?

The legality of transporting cannabis products across state lines hinges on the laws of each individual state. It's crucial to research and understand the legal landscape of your destination and any states you'll pass through when traveling with cannabis products. Generally, transporting hemp-derived products containing 0.3% THC or less is permissible under federal and state laws. However, carrying any cannabis product with more than 0.3% THC is federally illegal, with very limited exceptions for medicinal cannabis under certain state laws.

In a legal environment that continues to evolve, understanding the nuances of cannabis regulation can be challenging. AllGoodDaze is dedicated to keeping abreast of legal changes and collaborates closely with experts to ensure our products comply with all regulatory requirements, providing our customers with high-quality, federally legal cannabis options.
