As the buzz around THCA flower continues to grow, one question we get every day at Premium Blends is:
“Is THCA legal where I live?”
Let’s break it down.
🔍 What Makes THCA Federally Legal?
Under the 2018 Farm Bill, hemp-derived products that contain less than 0.3% Delta-9 THC by dry weight are federally legal. THCA, in its raw form, is non-psychoactive — only converting into psychoactive THC when heated (via smoking or vaping). That’s why many brands, including Premium Blends, offer compliant THCA flower that meets these regulations.
But while it’s legal federally, state laws vary.
✅ States Where THCA Is Compliant
You can legally buy and possess Premium Blends THCA flower in the following states:
Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Texas, Virginia, Tennessee, and over 25 others.
These states allow the sale of hemp-derived THCA flower as long as it stays within federal Delta-9 THC limits.
⚠️ States With Restrictions
In some places like California, New York, and Oregon, THCA is only allowed within tightly regulated cannabis programs. That means you may not be able to order online or buy from unlicensed sellers.
❌ States Where THCA Is Banned
States like Idaho, Iowa, and Mississippi have taken hardline stances — banning or criminalizing THCA altogether, regardless of federal law.
Always double-check your local laws before ordering.
