The love for THC-O has been on a constant rise, for quite a while. And if you are someone who shares the same love and are wondering about the legality of THC-O products in the United States, then this article is for you. Yes, THC O products are legal in quite a few states across the US for which we have included a comprehensive list in the following sections. We are going to answer all your questions such as the legality of THC-O products, legal age, etc.

1] Are THC-O products legal in the United States?

Yes, THC-O products are legal at the federal level. The legality of THC-O products was a big question mark because it was not well defined. So, to start with, it was legalized in 2018 after the United States Farm Bill was passed that made Industrial Hemp Plants legal for commercial and manufacturing use.

This decision made all Hemp derived products that have below 0.3% of DELTA-9 in dry concentration, legal at the federal level. Now all the Hemp derived THC-O products like gummies are legal and circulating in the market.

But also, many experts claim that THC-O products are illegal because they are not naturally made from Hemp plant, and are synthetically made in labs with the use of chemicals. So, to clarify your doubt, the legal text defines Hemp as “Cannabis sativa L. and any part of that plant, including the seeds thereof and all derivatives, extracts, cannabinoids, isomers, acids, salts, and salts of isomers…with no more than a 0.3 percent concentration of THC”. Technically, Hemp isomers like THC-O are considered as “derivatives” and “isomers” and contain less than 0.3% of DELTA-9-THC.

Thus, it is pretty clear as a clause in section 12619b of the 2018 United States Farm Bill specifically states that “tetrahydrocannabinol in hemp” is legal. So, THC-O products are legal at the federal level and you can use them.

You must be wondering, why you should be worried about the source of the products. The reason behind that is if the THC-O products are not derived from natural hemp and are synthetic, this would make them illegal, as only Hemp derived THC-O products are considered legal.

THC-O products are made from Hemp. It is a process similar to that used in making DELTA-8, known as isomerization. THC-O is made from DELTA-8 by rearranging the DELTA-8 isomers in a different order, resulting in THC-O. As THC-O is made from DELTA-8 which is made from CBD extracted from Hemp plants, it is considered a Hemp isomer and has legal status. This is done because a very low concentration of THC-O is found in Hemp plants.
