Is Delta 10 Legal?


There is yet another cannabinoid that’s about to take over the market, much like delta 8 THC has in the last year. This cannabinoid is delta 10 THC, which behaves similar to delta 8 THC except that it is created synthetically, being an isomer of cannabidiol (CBD), and may offer a different type of psychoactive experience.
Delta 10 has not really hit the market just yet in a big way, but already people are wondering whether or not it’s going to be legal where they live. Well, the answer to that is actually a bit complicated.
Is Delta 10 THC Federally Legal?
Delta 10 THC may exist in the grayest area of the hemp laws that exist in the United States. Delta 10 is a mildly psychoactive cannabinoid that is a derivative of the hemp plant, and because it’s not delta 9 THC, federal law should theoretically recognize it as a legal substance. After all, the Farm Bill of 2018 determined that hemp and its derivatives can be sold legally as long as they do not contain more than 0.3% THC.
So, here is where things get a little tricky. Technically, delta 10 is not naturally derived but produced, as it is made in a lab by rearranging the molecules of the cannabidiol compound. This could possibly classify it, at least according to legislators, as synthetic THC, which is in fact prohibited according to federal law. The reason why it is a gray area is because even though delta 10 is produced in a lab, it comes from a naturally derived hemp compound that is legal, which is THC. Therefore, in the most technical terms, it is hemp-derived.
So, is delta 10 legal or not? To be blunt, we don’t know. We will not know until there is a growing delta 10 market in the country, and there just is not one yet. As of now, no laws have been made specifically prohibiting delta 10, so technically it can be sold throughout the country. However, legislators may decide to classify it as synthetic THC and ban it once they catch wind of its growing popularity. In terms of whether it’s legal currently, the answer remains unknown.
