In recent years, hemp and cannabis products have surged in popularity, with customers seeking alternative wellness solutions.

As the market evolves, so does the legal status of various hemp and cannabis compounds. Here, we’ll explore the legal intricacies surrounding Premium Smokable Hemp, Delta-8 THC Hemp, and Delta-9 THC Hemp, shedding light on why products containing certain compounds are federally legal and can be shipped to most states in the US.

First, what type of THC does Lusso use?

The majority of our flowers use hemp-derived THCa (tetrahydrocannabinolic acid), a non-psychoactive compound found in cannabis. In its natural state, it doesn’t produce the intoxicating effects commonly associated with THC (tetrahydrocannabinol). Only when heated (like when you spark a joint) does THCa convert into THC, a process known as decarboxylation, which produces a “high.”

Are products made with THCa, Delta-8 THC, and Delta-9 THC federally legal?

Yes! The legal foundation for the cultivation and sale of hemp-derived products, including those like ours featuring THCa, Delta-8 THC, and Delta-9 THC, can be traced back to the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018, commonly known as the Farm Bill. This landmark legislation removed hemp—defined as cannabis with less than 0.3% THC by dry weight—from the list of controlled substances, officially distinguishing it from marijuana. Delta-8 THC is also explicitly mentioned in the 2018 Farm Bill, classifying it as a legal hemp-derived compound.

Products which adhere to Farm Bill criteria are legally permitted to be shipped to most states in the US. In addition to THC content limitations, there are strict regulations on hemp cultivation, ensuring that it is conducted by licensed growers in accordance with state, tribal, or federal law—and manufacturers like Lusso must rigorously test and monitor cannabis products to ensure regulatory compliance.

Where does Lusso Flower come from?

All Lusso cannabis is sourced from our Southern California hemp farms run by growers who don’t use pesticides and who collectively have decades of experience cultivating the plants. Growing consistently high-quality hemp requires skill, science, patience, and a whole lot of love. Our growers have proprietary varieties they’ve spent years developing, and you can see, smell, taste, and feel the difference between the cannabis from Lusso’s growers and the cheap stuff flooding the modern market.

How do federal and state laws differ?

It's crucial to note that while hemp-derived products are federally legal, state laws vary. Some states may have more permissive regulations, while others may impose additional restrictions or outright bans on certain cannabis-derived products.
