In Connecticut, the legal status of Delta-8 THC is a bit complicated. According to state law, all isomers (different forms) of tetrahydrocannabinols (the chemical group that includes Delta 8 and Delta 9) are considered illegal. However, an exception has been made for hemp-derived substances following the federal law introduced by the 2018 Farm Bill. This means that if your Delta-8 THC product comes from hemp and contains less than 0.3% of its more famous cousin, Delta-9 THC, it's technically legal in the state according to federal law.
This situation makes it crucial for consumers to ensure any products they purchase are derived from hemp and contain less than the stipulated level of Delta-9 THC. Nevertheless, as this remains a gray area in terms of legislation interpretation between federal and state law, it's always a good idea to stay informed about any changes in the legal landscape.
