California Delta 8 THC Laws

California has always been at the forefront when it comes to the legalization of cannabis and hemp-derived products. However, the state’s CBD laws can be confusing and hazy at best when it comes to finding information on Delta-8 THC legality. 

Cannabis enthusiasts assumed California would follow the same footsteps of neighboring states such as Nevada and Texas to restrict purchases of Delta-8. Thankfully, California has been progressive with their legislation to help clarify hemp products as its own separate classification that differs from the controlled substances list. Because of this new law, Delta-8 is assumed openly legal for purchase in the state of California as long as it consists of no more than 0.3% THC and is derived from legal CBD.
