Cannabis-derived terpenes
Terpenes may be derived from cannabis, whether it is classified as hemp or marijuana. The 2014 Farm Bill removed hemp from the list of Schedule 1 substances and sewed the seeds for hemp’s recent resurgence. The Bill prompted long-forbidden research into hemp-derived cannabinoids to begin in earnest.
The 2018 Farm Bill expanded on this, allowing people to produce, sell, and consume hemp-derived products with less than .3% Delta-9 THC per dry weight, making it clear to legal experts and cannabis growers that these products, including terpenes, were federally-compliant. On the other hand, marijuana—defined as cannabis containing more than .3% Delta-9 THC—is still illegal in many states.
Terpenes contain no THC and neither hemp nor marijuana terpenes produce psychoactive effects.
Even if all pure cannabis terpenes contain zero THC, it’s important to remember that they must come from hemp to be protected by the Farm Bill’s legislation. Terpenes from marijuana may not be legal except in states that sanction adult-use of marijuana.
