In Louisiana—a state famous for its unique culture and iconic Mardi Gras celebration—the use of hemp-derived Delta-9 THC is considered legal under specific conditions.
The federal guidelines set forth by the 2018 Federal Farm Bill stipulate that such products are permissible provided they contain less than 0.3% Delta-9 THC.
Complementing this federal stance, Louisiana Revised Statutes § 3:1462 dictates that industrial hemp—which includes all derivatives, extracts, cannabinoids, isomers, acids, salts, and salts of isomers—is considered to have a total Delta-9 THC concentration that doesn't exceed 0.3% on a dry weight basis.
Adding another layer to these regulations is the Louisiana Administrative Code Title 7:XLV.303 which states that the total THC—being the sum of Delta-9 THC and Delta-8 THC—should not surpass one percent (1%).
So whether you're enjoying the vibrant life of Bourbon Street or exploring the rich history in Baton Rouge, be assured that Delta-9 THC derived from hemp is considered legal under these specific conditions within state borders.
