Federal

• 2018 Farm Bill legalized hemp (cannabis ≤ 0.3% Delta-9 THC) at the federal level.
• THCa flower under that threshold is federally legal to grow, sell, and ship.
• The DEA tried to argue THCa should count toward total-THC; current legal interpretation (and how the industry operates) is by Delta-9 THC only.
• Marijuana (>0.3% Delta-9) remains Schedule I federally, regardless of state law.

State-by-state — IMPORTANT

States can — and do — restrict hemp products beyond federal law. Some states have banned Delta-8, some have banned all THCa flower, some require their own labeling.

buds.fun maintains a restricted-states list. If your shipping address is in a restricted state, our checkout will block the order. Current restricted list (subject to change — the live list is in apps/web/src/lib/shipping/restricted.ts):

• Arkansas, Hawaii, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Carolina (Delta-8 only), Rhode Island, South Dakota, Utah, Vermont, Washington

Some states allow it but with caveats:

• Texas: legal but politically contested; could change.
• California / Colorado / Oregon: marijuana-legal already; competing with state-licensed market.

Age requirement

21+ in every state. Our age gate enforces this at site entry and at checkout (ID-verified processor on payment, age recorded in compliance log).

Air travel

• Domestic: TSA's official policy is they don't search for cannabis but will report federally illegal substances. THCa flower is legal under federal law (≤0.3% Delta-9), but the line is muddy. CBD products clearly labeled and under threshold are usually fine. Don't travel with flower.
• International: illegal in most of the world. Don't.
