While the 2018 Farm Bill legalized hemp-derived CBD at the federal level, individual states still maintain their own regulations. This article provides a state-by-state breakdown of the current laws surrounding CBD and THC, so you can stay informed about the legal status in your area.
Legal States for CBD and THC
- Fully Legal States: In states like Colorado, California, and Oregon, both CBD and THC (from marijuana) are fully legal for recreational and medical use.
- CBD Only States: In states such as Texas and Tennessee, only hemp-derived CBD products are legal, while marijuana remains illegal.
- Medical Use States: States like Florida and New York allow the use of medical marijuana, but require patients to register with a state program and have a medical card.
What to Watch for When Traveling
If you are traveling between states, it’s important to remember that CBD and THC laws can vary. Even if you purchase a product legally in your home state, it may not be legal in another state. Always check the local laws of your destination before traveling with CBD or THC products.
