Is Delta-8 Legal in Oregon
No, Delta-8 products are illegal in Oregon
Not Legal
In Oregon, Delta-8 THC is not legal due to specific regulations and interpretations of state law by the Oregon Liquor Control Commission (OLCC). The OLCC has clarified that Delta-8 THC products do not qualify as industrial hemp products authorized for sale in Oregon, effectively prohibiting their distribution within the state.
This state stance diverges from the federal regulations outlined in the 2018 Farm Bill, which allows hemp-derived cannabinoids containing less than 0.3% Delta-9 THC. However, Oregon, like other states, retains the authority to impose stricter regulations on hemp and its derivatives, as exemplified in its handling of Delta-8 THC.
Delta-8 THC is a naturally occurring cannabinoid found in small amounts in the hemp plant. It is chemically similar to Delta-9 THC, the primary psychoactive component of cannabis, but is reported to produce milder psychoactive effects. Because of its potential therapeutic benefits, Delta-8 THC has been used by many for a variety of medical conditions. Users claim that Delta-8 THC is an effective pain reliever that can help reduce inflammation and pain. It has been demonstrated to be useful in lowering nausea and vomiting. Additionally, it has been reported that Delta-8 THC increases appetite.
Before purchasing Delta-8 in Oregon, always check the lab test results for each product to ensure accurate labeling and safety.
