The countdown above is the federal deadline. Many states have already banned delta-8 and other intoxicating hemp products ahead of it. In California (AB 8, effective January 1, 2026) and Ohio (SB 56), these products are already off general-retail shelves. Don't plan your inventory around November 12 alone — check your state's rules first.
Delta-8 THC
Delta-10 THC
THC-O acetate
HHC (hexahydrocannabinol)
THC-P
Hemp-derived delta-9 edibles/beverages above 0.4mg/container
Most "full spectrum" CBD products
All chemically converted or synthesized cannabinoids
These become Schedule I controlled substances — criminal liability applies.
CBD isolate products under 0.4mg THC/container
CBG (cannabigerol) — non-intoxicating
CBN (cannabinol) — non-intoxicating
Topical hemp products
Hemp seed foods
Federal status only. State law can be stricter and overrides this list where it conflicts — for example, California's AB 8 bans all inhalable hemp and requires ingestible hemp extract to be over 99% pure with no detectable THC, so some items above are not legal for general retail in every state. Confirm your state before restocking.
Would delay enforcement and create a regulatory framework for hemp-derived cannabinoids.
Addresses hemp farming provisions and supply chain stability.
Would regulate rather than ban hemp-derived cannabinoids under FDA oversight.
