ND Retailers Prohibited from Selling THC Gummies
North Dakota law strictly prohibits general retailers from selling THC-infused gummies and seltzers. These products may only be sold through licensed medical marijuana dispensaries to registered patients. State regulators emphasize that any hemp product intended to produce a high remains illegal for general retail sale.
Federal Rescheduling Impact on ND Medical Marijuana
The U.S. Department of Justice recently decided to downgrade the federal drug classification for medical cannabis. This shift is expected to help state-licensed medical marijuana businesses claim federal tax benefits and spur new research at state universities. However, the broader divide between federal and state marijuana policy remains a challenge for North Dakota.
THCA Products Deemed Illegal at North Dakota Hemp Retailers
North Dakota measures hemp compliance using a total-THC formula that captures THCA flower. Because of this strict calculation, THCA products sold at retail potency exceed the 0.3% limit and are not lawful. Medical cannabis remains the only legal avenue for high-THC products in the state.
