How Is Mood Cannabis Legal?

The Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018 (commonly known as the Federal Farm Bill) removed hemp from the government’s list of controlled substances on the federal level.

Hemp is defined as cannabis in various forms with less than 0.3% Delta-9 THC by dry weight, officially distinguishing it from marijuana.

All of Mood’s products comply with the Farm Bill and are legally permitted to ship to most U.S. states. Here’s how we continue to uphold our legal status and deliver high-quality products to our customers.

Mood’s legal status explained: A letter from attorney Rod Kight

Mood Meets Regulatory Standards

Mood’s products comply with the Farm Bill’s Delta-9 content limits and its strict regulations on hemp cultivation.

To be compliant and hold our products to the highest standards, we work with licensed growers who operate in accordance with state, tribal, and federal law.

We also rigorously test and monitor every cannabis product available at our online dispensary with third-party labs to confirm each meets regulatory and quality standards.

Mood Ships To Most U.S. States

While hemp-derived products are federally legal, state laws vary on recreational cannabis use. Some states have lighter regulations, while others impose additional restrictions or outright bans on certain cannabis products.

We continually adapt to follow these state-specific laws.

To see what ships to you, head to any Mood product page. Towards the bottom, you will find a section titled “Where We Ship This Product” with a list of states that we currently ship that product to.

Remember that different products can have different restrictions, so if we don’t ship THCa Flower to your state, we may still be able to send you Gummies or Edibles.

Hemp-Derived Cannabis

The majority of Mood’s legal cannabis products, including flower, pre-rolls, and vapes, feature hemp-derived THCa.

THCa is a non-psychoactive compound found in the cannabis plant. In its natural state, it doesn’t produce the intoxicating effects commonly associated with Delta-9.

When it’s smoked or heated, this legal hemp extract becomes more potent.

We work exclusively with American farmers who have developed proprietary genetics to create high-quality THCa cannabis.

Thanks to these experts' selective breeding practices, we can produce and share federal regulation-compliant THCa flowers at our online dispensary.

In addition to our flower, Mood’s edibles, gummies, and concentrates produce fantastic effects while using Farm Bill-compliant levels of Delta-9 alongside other cannabinoids like Delta-8 THC, THCp, and CBD.
