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.

BannedDEA treats HHC and any THC made by chemically converting hemp CBD (most delta-8/delta-10, THC-O, HHC products) as Schedule I synthetic THC; don't ship them anywhere in the US.
21 CFR 1308.11(d) - Specific listing for hexahydrocannabinol (DEA final rule, 91 FR 23913, May 4, 2026) · effective May 4, 2026 · draft
Exact text
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.
