Legal Hemp-Derived Delta‑9 & HHC Edibles in Nebraska
Hemp-Derived Delta‑9 THC Is Legal in Nebraska
Nebraska’s 2019 Hemp Farming Act (LB 657) allows hemp-derived Delta‑9 THC edibles (≤ 0.3% THC by dry weight) under federal law omahadailyrecord.com+13namacbd.com+13naturesgemcbd.com+13en.wikipedia.org+6ciliconplus.com+6nebraskapublicmedia.org+6criminaldefensene.com+2naturesgemcbd.com+2nebraskapublicmedia.org+2. These products can legally be sold and shipped across the state—as long as they’re hemp-derived and compliant. Marijuana-derived THC remains illegal nebraskastatecannabis.org.
However, a contentious bill—LB 316—is working its way through the Legislature. If passed:
-
It would reclassify hemp products with >0.3% total THC or >10 mg per package as marijuana
-
It includes a grace period through December 31, 2025, for consumers to adjust nebraskastatecannabis.org+12nebraskaexaminer.com+12omahadailyrecord.com+12apnews.com+1update.legislature.ne.gov+1.
