Hemp law,
v zázname.
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.
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.
What the new definition says.
Hemp is redefined using celkový 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 na kontajner.
- 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. Krytie · 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
Repeal
Would repeal the §781 changes and restore the 2018 Farm Bill definition. Listed in CRS LSB11496.
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
House farm bill
As passed by the House: total-THC testing and production plans that separate industrial hemp. Barr hemp amendment (PDF)

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.
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.
Need a COA for your compliance file?
A named rep replies within one business day with the current lot’s COA showing total THC.
