THC in New York

Hemp-derived THC products are illegal in New York following action by the New York Cannabis Control Board, which banned the sale, distribution, and production of delta-8 THC and related hemp-derived intoxicating cannabinoids. This prohibition applies statewide regardless of the hemp source or THC concentration. The ban extends to all hemp-derived THC isomers including delta-8, delta-10, and other synthetically produced cannabinoids. Retail sale of these products is prohibited in all venues including smoke shops, convenience stores, and CBD shops. Violations can result in regulatory enforcement actions. The state directs all THC commerce through its regulated adult-use cannabis program, where products undergo rigorous testing and oversight.
