Term Index
- Tetrahydrocannabinolic Acid (THCa): Refers to THCa, a naturally occurring compound in hemp and marijuana plants that converts into delta-9 THC when it is heated. Some states require the combined amount of THCa and delta-9 THC to be less than 0.3% concentration by weight for legal hemp products.
- Total Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC): Refers to state potency limits that restrict the total concentration of all cannabinoids, including THCa and THC isomers, such as delta-8, delta-9, delta-10, etc.
- Isomerization: Refers to the chemical process by which naturally occurring compounds in the hemp plant are modified or transformed into other cannabinoids. State laws may use other terms to refer to this process, including “chemical conversion,” “synthetically derived,” and “chemically modified” hemp derivatives.
Notes
- States may permit impairing hemp products to be sold in marijuana dispensaries. In practice, few marijuana dispensaries carry hemp products.
- Products may still be available through online purchases, even in states where they are prohibited.
About Hemp
Hemp is a strain of the cannabis plant that is legally defined as having less than 0.3% delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) by dry weight. Delta-9 THC is the primary psychoactive compound in cannabis responsible for marijuana’s so-called high feeling. By requiring hemp to have a low concentration of delta-9 THC, lawmakers meant to ensure that the plant would not cause impairment.
