Hemp law,
Para constar nos registros.
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.
Como chegamos aqui.
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.
What the new definition says.
Hemp is redefined using total 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 por contêiner.
- Viable seeds from plants above 0.3% total THC.
Bills that could change it again.
As listed by the Congressional Research Service. Introduction is not passage; most have not moved past committee.
1% total THC + federal framework
Barr (R-KY) and Craig (D-MN), introduced July 22, 2026. 1% total THC, 21+ sales, FDA cannabinoid caps, a three-tier beverage system and taxes. Global · April draft (PDF)
Two-year delay
Would push the new definition’s effective date back two more years. H.R. 7010 text (congress.gov) · HR 7024

Higher limits or a regulatory framework
S. 2112 would allow up to 1% delta-9 THC; the others would create federal frameworks for hemp-derived cannabinoid products. CRS IF13136

Where each state stands.
Each state’s treatment of intoxicating hemp-derived products (delta-8, delta-9 edibles, THCA and similar). Non-intoxicating hemp, CBD and fiber are generally treated differently. Federal changes apply on top of state law.
Showing all 50 states.
Statuses summarize each state’s approach as reported by the linked sources and the Ohio State Moritz College of Law table. Several states are in active litigation or mid-session. Confirm current law with the state agency or your counsel before you ship.
Regulate it. Don’t erase it.
