Detailed background
Alabama allows hemp-derived CBD oils, capsules, and topicals through its retail channel. Recent legislation (HB 445, effective 2025) restricted hemp-derived intoxicating cannabinoids — delta-8 THC, THC-A, HHC — but ordinary CBD oils remained legal. The state operates under a hemp program registered with the USDA. Smokable hemp flower is in a gray zone; we don't ship it.
For cannabis-derived CBD (medical marijuana CBD), Alabama runs a limited medical cannabis program through the Alabama Medical Cannabis Commission, but it is separate from hemp-derived CBD and not relevant for our products.
