10Moods offers mood-based cannabinoid products that are federally legal and compliant with the 2018 Farm Bill. However, the legality of specific cannabinoids such as CBD, THCA, Delta-8 THC, and Delta-9 THC varies state by state. This guide breaks down what you need to know about each compound — and how 10Moods stays compliant across the U.S.
Federal Law: The 2018 Farm Bill
The Farm Bill legalized hemp and its derivatives, provided the product contains less than 0.3% Delta-9 THC by dry weight. This distinction allows for the sale of cannabinoids like CBD, THCA, and even Delta-8 THC, so long as they’re derived from hemp. But state law can override federal policy, which is where things get complicated.
Understanding Each Cannabinoid
| Cannabinoid | Psychoactive? | Federally Legal? | Key Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| CBD | No | Yes | Legal in all states, some restrictions apply in Idaho, Nebraska, and South Dakota. |
| THCA | No (until heated) | Yes | Raw THCA is legal; decarboxylated THCA becomes THC, which may be regulated differently. |
| Delta-8 THC | Yes | Yes (gray area) | Federally permitted, but banned in over a dozen states. |
| Delta-9 THC (Hemp-Derived) | Yes | Yes (if under 0.3%) | Legal only in low doses; often used in edibles like gummies. |
