The caveats that matter

  • Hemp and hemp products are defined by TOTAL THC (statutorily includes THCA at 0.877 conversion), capped at the federal 0.3% level by commissioner rule
  • Delta-8 and all chemically derived cannabinoid products are banned by name (HB 1045 2021, SB 2096 2023)
  • Anything exceeding the hemp limits is regulated as marijuana under ch. 19-24.1; medical program is the only licensed channel

Enforcement, in practice

Agriculture commissioner has confiscation, cease-and-desist, and civil-penalty powers over non-compliant hemp products (§§ 4.1-18.1-06, -12).

Last checked 2026-08-06 — laws change. This is decision support, not legal advice.

Code ch. 4.1-18.1 — 'total tetrahydrocannabinol' = THCA x 0.877 + THC (§ 4.1-18.1-01(11)); products must test/label total THC; non-allowable products fall under ch. 19-24.1) before ordering.

The statute we reviewed does not set an explicit hemp purchase age; every product this site covers is intended for adults 21 and over regardless.

What happens to THCA in North Dakota after November 12, 2026?
