Is Delta-8 Legal in Utah
No, Delta-8 products are illegal in Utah
Not Legal
In Utah, Delta-8 THC is currently not legal under state law unless you have a medical marijuana prescription. The Utah Department of Agriculture and Food (UDAF) has clarified that Delta-8 THC, along with other tetrahydrocannabinols, is considered a controlled substance. This classification makes Delta-8 THC products illegal to sell, possess, or use within the state, regardless of whether they are derived from hemp. This stance contrasts with federal regulations under the 2018 Farm Bill, which legalizes hemp-derived cannabinoids like Delta-8 THC as long as they contain less than 0.3% Delta-9 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 Utah, always check the lab test results for each product to ensure accurate labeling and safety.
