THC in North Carolina

North Carolina legalized hemp-derived THC products under Senate Bill 352, which removed all hemp-derived THCs including delta-8 and delta-10 from the state's Controlled Substances Act. Products must contain less than 0.3% delta-9 THC by dry weight to remain legal. However, House Bill 563/328 is pending in the legislature that would impose significant new regulations including licensing requirements for manufacturers and retailers, age restrictions of 18+, serving size limits (25mg for solid edibles, 10mg for liquids, 3ml for inhalables), mandatory third-party laboratory testing, and bans on sales near schools. The bill would also prohibit synthetic hemp products including delta-7, delta-8, and delta-10. Currently, products are widely available at convenience stores, smoke shops, and online with minimal regulation, but this "Wild West" environment may soon change.
