In recent years, hemp products have moved to the forefront of the wellness industry, offering a range of benefits from relaxation to enhanced focus. At the heart of this movement is the legalization of hemp, which was transformed by the passing of the 2018 Farm Bill. Today, products like Vitam can offer hemp-derived THC legally, providing consumers with safe, reliable, and enjoyable experiences. Here’s a closer look at why hemp THC is legal, what the 2018 Farm Bill entails, and how Vitam ensures compliance as a licensed consumable hemp product.
The 2018 Farm Bill: Legalizing Hemp and Hemp THC
The Agricultural Improvement Act of 2018, commonly known as the 2018 Farm Bill, was a landmark moment for the hemp industry. The bill removed hemp from the Controlled Substances Act, making it federally legal to grow, process, and sell as long as it met specific guidelines. Here are the key points that changed the landscape:
-
Hemp vs. Marijuana Definition: The Farm Bill distinguishes hemp from marijuana based on THC content. To be classified as hemp, a product must contain no more than 0.3% THC by dry weight. This level is low enough to avoid any psychoactive effects associated with higher-THC cannabis, making it legally acceptable.
-
Hemp-Derived THC: While marijuana remains illegal at the federal level, the Farm Bill allows for THC that is derived from hemp as long as it adheres to the 0.3% limit. This has enabled companies to create consumable products with hemp-derived THC that can provide mild benefits without the effects associated with high-THC marijuana.
-
State Compliance: Although the Farm Bill legalized hemp federally, individual states still have the power to regulate or restrict hemp products. Companies producing hemp products must adhere to both federal and state laws, ensuring that they meet all regulatory standards.
