F.A.Q.s

 

1. What is hemp?

Hemp is a variety of the Cannabis sativa plant species that is grown specifically for industrial use. It is characterized by low levels of THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) and high levels of CBD (cannabidiol). Hemp is commonly used to produce a variety of products, including textiles, paper, food, supplements, and CBD-infused products.

2. Is it legal to sell hemp products in the United States?

Yes, hemp products are legal to sell in the United States under the Agricultural Improvement Act of 2018, also known as the 2018 Farm Bill. This legislation removed hemp from the list of controlled substances and legalized the production, distribution, and sale of hemp and hemp-derived products, including CBD.

3. What is the legal definition of hemp?

According to the 2018 Farm Bill, hemp is defined as cannabis plants and derivatives that contain no more than 0.3% THC on a dry weight basis. Any cannabis plant or product that exceeds this threshold is considered marijuana and remains illegal under federal law.

4. Are all hemp products legal in every state?

While hemp and hemp-derived products are federally legal, individual states may have their own regulations regarding the sale and distribution of these products. It is important to familiarize yourself with the laws and regulations in your state to ensure compliance with local requirements.

5. So what about drug testing?

While broad-spectrum and CBD isolate products attempt to offer THC-free solutions, there is no guarantee to passing a drug test using any cannabis product, including those hemp products labeled free of THC. Use of hemp and/or hemp-derived products may result in failing a standard drug panel for THC.

 

6. Can I travel with this?

Always refer to TSA's formal guidance attainable at:

tsa.gov/travel/security-screening/whatcanibring/items/medical-marijuana

Federally compliant cannabis products (..."not containing more than 0.3% THC on a dry weight basis"...) are allowed on domestic flights at the discretion of a TSA officer deeming them as such. Regardless of mode of transit, legality may differ based on jurisdiction, so always refer to local laws as well wherever and whenever you go.
