State Legal Map
Alabama
Legal
In Alabama, the status of hemp and its derived products is clearly defined and aligns with the progressive stance of the Federal Farm Bill of 2018. Under Alabama Code 2-8-381 (4), the term “industrial hemp” refers to the Cannabis sativa L. plant, including any part of the plant, its seeds, and all derivatives, extracts, cannabinoids, isomers, acids, salts, and salts of isomers. This is legal as long as it’s cultivated by a licensed grower or in compliance with the state’s USDA-approved regulatory plan, and it contains a Delta-9 Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) concentration of no more than 0.3 percent on a dry weight basis. Industrial hemp is recognized as an agricultural product under state law.
Furthermore, Alabama Code 20-2-2 (14) clarifies the distinction between marijuana and hemp. It defines marijuana as all parts of the Cannabis sativa L. plant, excluding hemp as defined in Section 2-8-381, thus excluding hemp from the legal definition of marijuana and its associated legal restrictions.

This legal framework in Alabama opens the door for consumers to legally purchase, possess, and enjoy a variety of hemp-derived products, such as those offered by Hemp Cowboys.

Alaska
Illegal
In Alaska, the legal landscape surrounding hemp and its derivatives takes a different turn, especially when it comes to psychoactive compounds. According to Sec. 11.71.160.(f) Schedule IIIA of Alaska’s statutes, any material, compound, mixture, or preparation containing any quantity of tetrahydrocannabinols (THCs) or its salts, isomers (whether optical, position, or geometric), or salts of isomers, is classified as a Schedule IIIA substance. This classification includes naturally occurring as well as synthetically produced cannabinoids, leading to a ban on substances like Delta-8 THC.
What This Means for You, the Consumer:
Despite Alaska’s generally liberal stance towards marijuana, the state’s approach to hemp-derived psychoactive compounds such as Delta-8 THC is notably strict. This means that while you can enjoy marijuana under the state’s regulations, hemp-derived products containing psychoactive THC levels that fall under the Schedule IIIA classification are not legally purchasable or consumable within the state.
For enthusiasts and consumers of Hemp Cowboys products in Alaska, this distinction is crucial. While our range includes various hemp-derived offerings designed to comply with federal law, the specific legal context in Alaska restricts the availability of certain products, particularly those containing psychoactive compounds like Delta-8 THC. As always, Hemp Cowboys is committed to compliance with state laws, ensuring that our products meet the legal requirements of each state in which they are available.
For Alaskan residents interested in hemp-derived products, it’s important to stay informed about the state’s evolving legal landscape and to choose products that align with Alaska’s regulations. Hemp Cowboys encourages all potential consumers to review their state’s laws and to reach out with any questions regarding the availability of our products in your area.
Arizona
Illegal
In Arizona, the legal framework surrounding hemp and its derivatives, particularly those involving tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), is stringent. According to Title 3 Agriculture, CH. 2, ART. 4.1 Industrial Hemp, the state defines cannabis to include marijuana as well as “Every compound, manufacture, salt, derivative, mixture, or preparation of such resin, tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), or of such plants from which the resin has not been extracted” in Section 3-311. Furthermore, Title 36 – Public Health and Safety, Ch. 2 Section 36-2512, clarifies that any material, compound, mixture, or preparation containing any quantity of cannabis substances, their salts, isomers, and salts of isomers, is regulated, with the only exception being the synthetic isomer of Delta-9 Tetrahydrocannabinol.
What This Means for You, the Consumer:
This legislation effectively places a ban on all cannabinoids that are not synthetic Delta-9 THC, impacting the availability of hemp-derived products in Arizona. For consumers in Arizona, this means that accessing hemp-derived products, especially those containing THC or its isomers, is significantly restricted under state law.
For Hemp Cowboys enthusiasts in Arizona, it’s important to understand that while our product range is designed to comply with federal laws, state-specific regulations in Arizona limit the availability of certain hemp-derived products. As a result, Hemp Cowboys is committed to ensuring that all products offered to Arizona residents adhere to the state’s legal requirements, focusing on non-psychoactive hemp-derived products that fall within the legal scope.
Arizona’s stance on hemp and THC products underscores the importance of staying informed about your state’s laws regarding hemp-derived substances. Hemp Cowboys encourages all our customers to review their local regulations before making a purchase and remains dedicated to providing compliant, high-quality hemp products to our customers, respecting the legal landscape in each state.
Arkansas
Legal
In Arkansas, the landscape for hemp-derived psychoactive cannabinoids has recently seen significant legal developments. As of September 7, 2023, a Federal judge issued a preliminary injunction that temporarily halts the enforcement of Act 629, which sought to ban hemp-derived psychoactive cannabinoids. This pivotal decision means that, for now, the sale and possession of these products remain legal until the trial scheduled for August 27, 2024, which will further determine the fate of hemp-derived cannabinoids in the state.
What This Means for You, the Consumer:
For Arkansas residents and visitors, this legal pause provides an opportunity to legally purchase and possess hemp-derived psychoactive cannabinoids, including those offered by Hemp Cowboys.

California
Legal
In California, the legal status of hemp and its derivatives is clearly defined and aligns closely with the Federal Farm Bill of 2018. The California Industrial Hemp Law, specifically under Division 24, Title 3, Division 4, Chapter 8-81000, provides comprehensive definitions and regulations that support the cultivation, production, and sale of industrial hemp. This legislation specifies that “industrial hemp” or “hemp” refers to types of the Cannabis sativa L. plant and any part of that plant, including seeds, cannabinoids, isomers, acids, salts, and salts of isomers, provided it contains a Delta-9 Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) concentration of no more than 0.3 percent on a dry weight basis.
What This Means for You, the Consumer:
For Californians, this legal framework means that hemp-derived products, including those containing Delta-8 THC and HHC, are legal to purchase, possess, and consume, as long as they adhere to the THC concentration limit set by state law. This opens up a wide array of options for consumers looking to explore the benefits of hemp-derived cannabinoids for wellness and recreational purposes.

Colorado
Illegal
In Colorado, a state known for its progressive stance on cannabis, the legal landscape around certain hemp-derived products, specifically those involving synthetic tetrahydrocannabinols (THCs), is more restrictive. According to the Uniform Controlled Substances Act of 2013 – Section 25A, Colorado has clearly defined synthetic THCs as illegal. This includes synthetic equivalents of substances found in the cannabis plant or its resinous extracts, as well as synthetic substances, derivatives, and their isomers that have similar chemical structures and pharmacological activities.
What This Means for You, the Consumer:
Despite Colorado’s legalization of marijuana for both medical and recreational use, the state’s regulations on hemp-derived cannabinoids like Delta-8 THC are stringent. This distinction is crucial for consumers within the state, as it limits the availability of certain hemp-derived products that contain psychoactive properties, even if they are derived from hemp and not marijuana.
For Hemp Cowboys customers in Colorado, this means that while you can legally access a wide range of marijuana products, our specific hemp-derived products containing Delta-8 THC and similar synthetic cannabinoids are not available due to state regulations. Hemp Cowboys is committed to compliance with Colorado’s laws, ensuring that we only offer products that are fully legal and safe for our customers.
As the legal status of hemp and cannabis continues to evolve, Hemp Cowboys encourages our Colorado customers to stay informed about the latest state regulations. We remain dedicated to providing a variety of legal, high-quality hemp-derived products that comply with Colorado law, focusing on non-psychoactive options that cater to wellness and health.
We understand the complexities of navigating the cannabis and hemp laws in Colorado and are here to support our customers in making informed choices about their hemp product purchases. Hemp Cowboys is committed to transparency, safety, and legality in all our offerings, ensuring that our customers can trust the quality and compliance of our products.
Connecticut
Illegal
In Connecticut, the legal status of certain hemp-derived products, specifically those containing Delta-8 THC and HHC, is tightly regulated under Senate Bill 1201. This legislation places the regulatory oversight of the state’s adult-use cannabis market, including both marijuana and hemp-derived compounds with more than 0.3 percent THC, under the exclusive jurisdiction of state government. As a result, products containing Delta-8 THC are classified alongside marijuana and are subject to strict cannabis regulations.
What This Means for You, the Consumer:
For those in Connecticut, this means that the purchase and possession of Delta-8 THC and HHC products are currently restricted to state-licensed marijuana dispensaries. However, with state licensing applications for these dispensaries not yet available, the sale and possession of Delta-8 and HHC products remain effectively illegal.
For Hemp Cowboys customers in Connecticut, it’s important to understand that while our range includes a variety of hemp-derived products, we are committed to adhering to state laws and regulations. As such, we cannot offer Delta-8 THC products in Connecticut at this time. Hemp Cowboys encourages our customers to stay informed about local laws and regulations and to choose products that comply with Connecticut’s legal framework.
We appreciate your understanding and look forward to the possibility of offering a broader range of products as the legal landscape evolves. Hemp Cowboys remains dedicated to providing safe, legal, and high-quality hemp-derived products to our customers, in line with state regulations.
Delaware
Illegal
In Delaware, the legal framework surrounding hemp-derived products is delineated in Title 16 of the Uniform Controlled Substances Act. This legislation allows for the sale, possession, and consumption of non-psychoactive hemp-derived products. However, it categorizes psychoactive compounds, whether derived from cannabis or hemp, as Schedule I controlled substances. Specifically, the Act states that any material, compound, combination, mixture, synthetic substitute, or preparation containing any quantity of marijuana or tetrahydrocannabinols (THCs), their salts, isomers, or salts of isomers that is not approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) falls under this classification.
What This Means for You, the Consumer:
For consumers in Delaware, this distinction means that while non-psychoactive hemp-derived products are legal, Delta-8 THC and other THC variants are considered illegal. Interestingly, HHC (Hexahydrocannabinol), although a psychoactive cannabinoid, is not classified as a THC and thus remains legal within the state.
For Hemp Cowboys customers in Delaware, it’s essential to understand that our offerings must align with these state-specific regulations. Consequently, while we can provide products containing HHC, we are unable to offer Delta-8 THC products or any other THC variants in Delaware. Hemp Cowboys is committed to compliance with Delaware’s laws, ensuring that all products we offer are both safe and legal for our customers.
We encourage our Delaware customers to stay informed about the state’s evolving cannabis and hemp regulations and to choose products that comply with current legal standards. Hemp Cowboys remains dedicated to offering a selection of legal, high-quality hemp-derived products to our customers, respecting the legal landscape in Delaware.
Florida
Legal
In Florida, the legal status of hemp and its derivatives is clearly outlined and favorable under Senate Bill 1020, which established the State Hemp Program. This legislation defines “hemp” as the Cannabis sativa L. plant, including any part of the plant, its seeds, and all derivatives, extracts, cannabinoids, isomers, acids, salts, and salts of isomers, with a stipulation that the total Delta-9 Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) concentration does not exceed 0.3 percent on a dry-weight basis.
What This Means for You, the Consumer:
For Floridians, this means that hemp-derived products, including those containing Delta-8 THC and HHC, are legal to purchase, possess, and consume, provided they adhere to the THC concentration limit outlined in the state’s hemp legislation. This aligns Florida with the Federal Farm Bill of 2018, ensuring a wide range of hemp-based products are accessible for wellness, therapeutic, or recreational use.
For Hemp Cowboys customers in Florida, this legal landscape offers the opportunity to explore and enjoy our full range of hemp-derived products without concern over legal restrictions related to THC content.

Georgia
Legal
In Georgia, the legal framework for hemp and its derivatives is established under House Bill 213, which aligns with the Federal Farm Bill of 2018. This legislation specifies that “hemp” refers to the Cannabis sativa L. plant, including any part of the plant, its seeds, and all derivatives, extracts, cannabinoids, isomers, acids, salts, and salts of isomers, with a Delta-9 THC concentration of not more than 0.3 percent on a dry weight basis. Furthermore, Georgia’s legal stance distinguishes between hemp-derived THC and higher concentration THC substances, with the latter falling under controlled substances if they contain more than 15 percent by weight of THC or do not exhibit the plant’s morphological features.
What This Means for You, the Consumer:
For those in Georgia, the state’s legislation ensures that hemp-derived products like Delta-8 and HHC are legal, provided they contain no more than 0.3 percent THC. This legal framework opens the door for consumers to legally explore a wide array of hemp-based products, from wellness-enhancing CBD to the unique experiences offered by Delta-8 THC and HHC, all within the comfort of state regulations.

Hawaii
Legal
In Hawaii, the legal status of hemp and its derivatives is clearly outlined and favorable, thanks to House Bill 2689. This legislation defines “Industrial hemp” as the Cannabis sativa L. plant, including all parts of the plant, seeds, derivatives, extracts, cannabinoids, isomers, acids, salts, and salts of isomers, with a Delta-9 Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) concentration not exceeding 0.3 percent on a dry weight basis. Furthermore, the bill distinguishes “marijuana” from hemp-derived products, specifying that marijuana does not include products derived from hemp that meet the specified THC concentration limit and do not include certain parts of the hemp plant.
What This Means for You, the Consumer:
For consumers in Hawaii, this means that hemp-derived products, including those containing Delta-8 THC and HHC, are legal as long as they adhere to the 0.3 percent THC threshold. This opens up a wide range of hemp-based products for legal purchase, possession, and use within the state. Whether you’re interested in the wellness benefits of CBD or the unique properties of Delta-8 THC and HHC, you can explore these options confidently, knowing they comply with both state and federal regulations.

Iowa
Illegal
In Iowa, the legal landscape for hemp and its derivatives is defined under the Iowa Industrial Hemp Act and Iowa Code 124. The Iowa Industrial Hemp Act recognizes “Hemp” as the Cannabis sativa L. plant, including all parts of the plant, seeds, derivatives, extracts, cannabinoids, isomers, acids, salts, and salts of isomers, with a delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) concentration not exceeding 0.3 percent on a dry weight basis. However, Iowa’s legal stance does not differentiate between the types of THC, considering both Delta-9 THC and THCA under the umbrella of “Total THC,” which means the total cannabinoid profile of a product must not exceed 0.3 percent THC to be considered legal. Despite this, there’s a peculiar stance on hemp-derived psychoactive substances: while hemp-derived Delta-9 THC is legal within the specified concentration, Delta-8 THC is not, due to the state’s unique interpretation of THC legality.
What This Means for You, the Consumer:
For consumers in Iowa, this regulatory environment means navigating a complex landscape where hemp-derived products are legal, provided they adhere to the “Total THC” limit of 0.3 percent. However, the legality of Delta-8 THC remains a notable exception, rendering it illegal despite being derived from legally defined hemp. This distinction is crucial for Hemp Cowboys customers in Iowa, emphasizing the importance of understanding which hemp-derived products are permissible.
While HHC (Hexahydrocannabinol) remains legal and accessible, those interested in Delta-8 THC products will find that these specific items are not available due to state regulations. Hemp Cowboys is committed to compliance with Iowa’s laws, ensuring our product offerings meet state guidelines and are safe for our customers. We encourage our Iowa customers to stay informed about their state’s regulations and to choose hemp-derived products that align with current legal standards.
Idaho
Illegal
In Idaho, the stance on hemp and its derivatives, including tetrahydrocannabinols (THCs), is outlined in House Bill 122, Sec. 37-2701. This legislation places a comprehensive ban on all forms of THC, with a critical exemption for those naturally occurring in hemp, provided they do not exceed the federal limit of 0.3 percent THC on a dry weight basis. Despite this allowance for certain hemp-derived THCs, the state’s regulations specifically target and exclude synthetically manufactured Delta-8 THC from this exemption, categorizing it under controlled substances due to its synthetic production process.
What This Means for You, the Consumer:
For consumers in Idaho, this legislation creates a clear boundary between permissible hemp-derived products and those that are restricted. While you can legally access products containing natural THC within the 0.3 percent limit, as well as HHC, most Delta-8 THC products fall outside of this legal exemption due to their synthetic nature. This distinction is crucial for Hemp Cowboys customers in Idaho, guiding you towards hemp-derived products that are compliant with state laws.
Hemp Cowboys is committed to navigating these regulations carefully, ensuring that our offerings in Idaho adhere strictly to state guidelines. We aim to provide our customers with a range of legal, safe, and high-quality hemp-derived products, focusing on those that meet the legal criteria set forth by Idaho law. As the legal landscape continues to evolve, we encourage our customers to stay informed and choose products that align with both state and federal regulations.
Illinois
Legal
In Illinois, the legal status of hemp and its derivatives is clearly supportive and expansive, as outlined in the Illinois Industrial Hemp Act (505 ILCS 89/5). This legislation defines “Industrial Hemp” as the Cannabis sativa L. plant, including any part of the plant, with a Delta-9 Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) concentration of not more than 0.3 percent on a dry weight basis. The Act ensures that hemp cultivated under a license or lawfully present in the state, along with any products derived from such hemp, is legal. Further solidifying hemp’s legal status, the Illinois Industrial Hemp Act (505 ILCS 89/20) states that the legality of hemp or hemp products that are currently legal to possess or own remains unchanged by this Act, aligning with the Federal Farm Bill of 2018.
What This Means for You, the Consumer:
For consumers in Illinois, this legislation means a green light for accessing a wide range of hemp-derived products, including Delta-8 and HHC, as long as they comply with the THC concentration limit. This legal framework not only makes it straightforward for you to purchase, possess, and consume these products but also ensures that the state protects the classification of hemp as a legal substance, provided all federal regulations are met.

Indiana
Legal
Indiana’s stance on hemp and its derivatives became clear with the passing of Senate Bill 516 in 2019, which brought the state’s hemp regulations in line with the Federal 2018 Farm Bill. This alignment with federal law underscores Indiana’s commitment to supporting the hemp industry, ensuring that hemp-derived products, as long as they adhere to the same THC concentration limits set at the federal level (not more than 0.3 percent THC on a dry weight basis), are legal within the state.
What This Means for You, the Consumer:

The bill defines “Hemp products” as all products derived from industrial hemp, including a wide range of goods from cloth and food to seed oil for consumption, provided the seeds originate from industrial hemp varieties. Furthermore, “Industrial hemp” is defined as all parts and varieties of the Cannabis sativa L. plant, with a stipulation that these must contain a delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) concentration of no more than 0.3% on a dry weight basis. This legislation aligns Kansas with the Federal Farm Bill of 2018, ensuring that hemp-derived products, including those containing Delta-8 THC and HHC, are legal within the state as long as they adhere to the THC concentration limits.
What This Means for You, the Consumer:
For consumers in Kansas, this legislation means that a broad spectrum of hemp-derived products is legally accessible.

The state’s definition of “Industrial hemp” includes Cannabis sativa L. and all parts of the plant, encompassing seeds, derivatives, extracts, cannabinoids, and more, as long as these components do not exceed a THC concentration of 0.3% on a dry weight basis. This legislation confirms that products derived from industrial hemp, including those containing Delta-8 THC and HHC, are legal provided they stay within the specified THC limits. Therefore, Kentucky residents can legally access a variety of hemp-based products without concerns over legality.
What This Means for You, the Consumer:
For consumers in Kentucky, the state’s hemp legislation enables you to legally purchase, possess, and use a broad array of hemp-derived products.

Louisiana
Legal
In Louisiana, the legal status of hemp and its derivatives is established by House Bill 491 Act 164 Part V-1462 and further supported by specific statutes under the Louisiana Revised Statutes. These laws define “Industrial hemp” as the Cannabis sativa L. plant, including its seeds, derivatives, extracts, cannabinoids, isomers, acids, salts, and salts of isomers, provided the delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) concentration does not exceed 0.3 percent on a dry weight basis. Additionally, the Uniform Controlled Dangerous Substances Law explicitly exempts industrial hemp and derived CBD products from the controlled substances list, recognizing them as legal under state law, provided they comply with THC thresholds. This comprehensive legal framework ensures the legality of products such as Delta-8 THC and HHC when derived from industrial hemp.
What This Means for You, the Consumer:
For consumers in Louisiana, these regulations mean that a wide variety of hemp-derived products are legally available for purchase and use.

Maine
Legal
What This Means for You, the Consumer:
Maryland
Legal
In Maryland, the legal status of hemp and its derivatives is shaped by House Bill 1123, Ch. 228, which distinguishes “Marijuana” from hemp-derived products. According to this legislation, any product derived from Cannabis sativa L. that contains a Delta-9 Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) concentration of no more than 0.3 percent on a dry weight basis is explicitly not classified as marijuana. This exemption aligns with the definitions set forth by the 2018 Federal Farm Bill. Additionally, under Title 5 – Controlled Dangerous Substances, THC is considered a Schedule I substance, but this classification does not apply to hemp-derived THC that adheres to the federal THC limits, further clarifying the legal landscape for such products in Maryland.
What This Means for You, the Consumer:
For consumers in Maryland, the state’s clear legal definitions provide peace of mind when purchasing and using hemp-derived products, such as CBD, Delta-8 THC, and HHC, as long as these products comply with the THC concentration limits established by law.

At Hemp Cowboys, you can trust that all our offerings comply with Massachusetts state laws as well as federal regulations, ensuring that you can purchase and use our products with confidence.

Michigan
Illegal
In Michigan, the legal status of Delta-8 THC has specific restrictions as of October 11, 2021. According to state regulations, it is illegal for businesses to sell Delta-8 THC products without proper licensing from the Michigan Regulatory Agency (MRA). This measure was implemented to regulate and control the distribution of Delta-8 THC, aligning it more closely with other controlled substances in terms of regulatory oversight. While hemp-derived products meeting the federal legal limit of 0.3% THC are generally legal, the sale of Delta-8 requires specific authorization, indicating a tighter control compared to general hemp products.
What This Means for You, the Consumer:
For consumers in Michigan, this regulation means that while you can legally purchase and use hemp-derived products like CBD, specific products containing Delta-8 THC are restricted and can only be purchased from licensed entities. This ensures that all Delta-8 THC products available in the market comply with state regulations for safety and quality. As a customer of Hemp Cowboys, it’s important to verify that any Delta-8 THC products you consider buying are from vendors that are duly licensed under Michigan laws. This not only ensures compliance with state regulations but also assures you of the product’s quality and legality.
Minnesota
Illegal
In Minnesota, the legal framework for hemp and its derivatives is defined under the Minnesota Industrial Hemp Development Act 18K.02. The Act categorizes “Industrial hemp” as the Cannabis sativa L. plant, including all parts of the plant, seeds, derivatives, extracts, cannabinoids, isomers, acids, salts, and salts of isomers, provided the delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) concentration does not exceed 0.3 percent on a dry weight basis. This definition is in line with the Federal Farm Bill of 2018. Furthermore, under Minnesota Statutes 2019, Ch. 152, hemp-derived products that comply with this THC threshold are explicitly exempt from being classified as Schedule I controlled substances, differentiating them clearly from marijuana and synthetic cannabinoids.
What This Means for You, the Consumer:
For consumers in Minnesota, this legislation provides legal clearance to purchase, possess, and consume a wide range of hemp-derived products, including those containing Delta-8 THC and HHC, as long as they adhere to the federal limit of 0.3% THC. This ensures that you can legally access these products across the state without concerns of violating controlled substance laws. As a Hemp Cowboys customer, you can feel confident in purchasing our products, knowing they are compliant with both state and federal regulations. This framework allows you to explore the benefits of hemp products securely, expanding your choices in personal wellness and nutrition with products guaranteed to meet legal standards.
Mississippi
Illegal
In Mississippi, the legal landscape for hemp and THC products is markedly different from federal guidelines and most state laws. According to Mississippi House Bill 1547, all tetrahydrocannabinols (THCs), including those derived from the cannabis plant, as well as synthetic equivalents and related substances, are classified as Schedule I substances. This classification applies regardless of the source, effectively making THC and all its isomers illegal under state law. Despite the 2018 Federal Farm Bill, which legalized hemp-derived products with THC concentrations of up to 0.3% on a federal level, Mississippi has chosen not to follow this guidance, maintaining a stringent prohibition.
What This Means for You, the Consumer:
For consumers in Minnesota, this legislation provides legal clearance to purchase, possess, and consume a wide range of hemp-derived products, including those containing Delta-8 THC and HHC, as long as they adhere to the federal limit of 0.3% THC. This ensures that you can legally access these products across the state without concerns of violating controlled substance laws. As a Hemp Cowboys customer, you can feel confident in purchasing our products, knowing they are compliant with both state and federal regulations.

Missouri

Vermont law makes this isomerization process illegal, restricting the methods by which Delta-8 THC can be legally produced and sold.
What This Means for You, the Consumer:
For consumers in Vermont, this means that while you may legally access naturally occurring Delta-8 THC in hemp products, most commercially available Delta-8 THC products are likely produced through methods that are not legal in your state due to the isomerization process used.
