BannedFrom Dec. 11, 2026 (unless Congress extends the delay again), federal law no longer treats as hemp any consumer product with more than 0.4 mg total THC (incl. THCA) per container or any synthesized/converted cannabinoid, so delta-8/THCA/hemp-THC edibles and hemp flower become federally illegal marijuana everywhere in the US.

Hexahydrocannabinol is currently controlled in schedule I as a tetrahydrocannabinol. ... Thus, only tetrahydrocannabinols in or derived from the cannabis plant--not synthetic tetrahydrocannabinols--are excluded from control as ``tetrahydrocannabinols in hemp.'' To clarify further, tetrahydrocannabinols produced through chemical conversion, even when hemp derived are considered synthetically produced for purposes of the CSA, do not qualify as ``tetrahydrocannabinols in hemp'' under the AIA.
BannedDon't mail THCA flower or synthetic/converted-cannabinoid products by USPS: Pub 52 allows hemp only if it meets the federal hemp definition and every applicable law, and keeps tracking any 'successor' definition.

Hemp and CBDBannedFDA's position is that CBD or THC foods, drinks and dietary supplements cannot lawfully be shipped across state lines, so interstate online sales of CBD/THC gummies, beverages or supplements are federally prohibited.
