The federal hemp redefinition, the delay Congress passed in September, the bills that could change it again, and where each state stands. Every line links to the bill, statute or agency source.

LAST REVIEWED Marraskuussa 9, 2026FEDERAL STATUS Partial effect Nov 12 · Full effect Dec 11, 2026KATTAVUUS Federal + 50 states

Two dates matter.On Marraskuussa 12, 2026, products containing cannabinoids the plant cannot naturally produce fall outside the federal definition of hemp. The rest of the new definition, including the 0.4 mg total THC per container limit, takes effect on Joulukuu 11, 2026 unless Congress acts again. State laws apply on their own timelines.

Federal timeline

How we got here.

Congress rewrote the 2018 Farm Bill’s hemp definition in a November 2025 spending law, then pushed most of it back by a month in September 2026.

Marraskuu 12, 2025Pub. L. 119-37, Div. B, §781 enacted. It rewrites the hemp definition at 7 U.S.C. §1639o.

Helmikuu 10, 2026FDA’s cannabinoid lists and its “container” guidance were due (90 days after enactment). As of Oct 28, 2026, none had been published.

syyskuu 2026H.R. 6500 (Pub. L. 119-103) delays most of §781 to December 11, 2026.

Marraskuu 12, 2026The exclusion for cannabinoids “not capable of being naturally produced” by the plant takes effect.

Joulukuu 11, 2026Total-THC definition, 0.4 mg per container cap and intermediate-product limits take effect.

The federal language

What the new definition says.

Hemp is redefined using koko THC (including THCA), not delta-9 alone. The definition also covers “industrial hemp” grown for fiber, grain, seed oil and other non-cannabinoid uses. It then excludes:

Hemp-derived cannabinoid products containing cannabinoids “not capable of being naturally produced by a Cannabis sativa L. plant.”
Products containing naturally occurring cannabinoids that were synthesized or manufactured outside the plant.
Intermediate products above 0.3% total THC (and other cannabinoids with similar effects).
Final products with more than 0.4 milligrams combined total THC and similar cannabinoids per kontti.
Viable seeds from plants above 0.3% total THC.

PRIMARY TEXTRead the amended definition as codified: 7 U.S.C. §1639o and statutory note (uscode.house.gov).

CONGRESSIONAL RESEARCH SERVICEDelay in Changes to Hemp Definition (LSB11496, Oct 28, 2026) · Changes to the Statutory Definition of Hemp (IF13136) · Legal Considerations Under the CSA (LSB11381)

THE DELAYH.R. 6500, the Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act, 2027 (Pub. L. 119-103). Summaries: Kuningaslaki · Akerman · Vincent LLP

WHAT IS STILL OPENFDA has not published the required lists of naturally occurring cannabinoids, THC-class cannabinoids, cannabinoids with “similar effects,” or a definition of “container.” Those lists will decide how many minor cannabinoids are affected.

Bona Voluntate supports clear federal rules: testing, labeling, age limits and real enforcement. The redefinition as written hurts legitimate, tested ingredient suppliers alongside the bad actors it targets. We’ll keep this page current as Congress, FDA and the states act. Every lot we ship carries a third-party certificate of analysis showing total THC, so your compliance team has what it needs.
