Tennessee Bans High-THC Hemp Products

Starting July 1st, Tennessee is shutting down the hemp loophole—banning any product with 0.3% THC or higher, including popular THCA items that convert to THC when heated. Legal hemp purchases now require in-person visits and valid IDs for those 21+, with no shipping or online sales allowed. The move stems from THCA’s unregulated flood into the market, now reclassified as a Delta-9 precursor. Expect major disruptions: gummies, drinks, and many hemp products will vanish from shelves, while lotions with ultra-low THC may survive. Tennessee, one of the few states without medical cannabis, faces tough choices as it tightens control over cannabinoids—no exceptions, no loopholes, and serious penalties for violations.
