Delaware law permits hemp-derived products that contain CBD, Delta-9 THC, and other cannabinoids, but not Delta-8. Delta 8 THC is a unique cannabinoid found in the hemp plant that has seen rapid expansion in popularity nationwide with promising results in both the medical and recreational fields. While Delta 8 THC has some properties familiar to the main chemical found in marijuana, Delta 9 THC, it has completely different effects along with generally less potency towards its users.
But is Delta 8 THC legal in Delaware?

You can't buy Delta-8 in Delaware, but you can buy Select Spectrum. So what exactly is Select Spectrum? Developed by Hometown Hero, it's a hemp-derived blend that contains, CBD, Delta-9 THC, and other cannabinoids. When isolated, cannabinoids have their own properties. When together, they can bring out the best in each other. This is called the entourage effect and this blend is meant to promote this effect.
Per Select Spectrum gummy, there is 10mg of CBD, 10mg of Delta-9 THC, and other minor cannabinoids. All of the cannabinoids used in Select Spectrum products are derived from hemp. Plus, the Delta-9 THC content does not exceed the federal limit of 0.3% concentration on a dry weight basis. This means that they are federally legal and can be bought online. So if you're in Delaware, and you're looking for a hemp-product with effects that are around the same range as Delta-8, we recommend Select Spectrum. But as always, start off with small amounts.
As of writing this 09/22/2021, Delta 8 THC is illegal under Delaware state law.
The following bills highlight why Delta 8 THC is illegal in Delaware.

Letâs clear the air.
Yes, Delta 8 is legal in most states.
But it isnât legal in Delaware.
And even if a nearby state has legal Delta 8, you cannot buy it and bring it over the border to DE.
Doing so would put you at risk of getting in trouble with the law.
Donât risk it, and find an alternativeâhemp-derived Delta 9 THC.
As stated above, hemp products that donât exceed the concentration limit of 0.3% of Delta 9 are legal in Delaware and federally.
But the best partâŚhemp-derived Delta 9 products are legal in 50 states.
That means you can travel with your hemp products throughout the country without penalty.
And on some domestic airlines, enthusiasts can pack it in their luggage. They just need to check in with the airline itself to see if they allow such products on their planes.
So instead of being forced to leave your cannabis products at home, you can bring them nearly anywhere.
Fortunately, hemp-derived Delta 9 has been legal in Delaware for some time.
Therefore, finding stores that carry these products isnât as hard to locate as youâd think.
Head over to your device, and search for the nearest hemp store.
Within seconds, youâll be directed towards the closest store that carries hemp products.
And more than likely, they carry our merchandise.

If you want to see a change in these laws, we recommend you voice your opinions to your local and state lawmakers. Unfortunately, Delaware doesn't have the same laws as Delta 8 THC in Pennsylvania, Delta 8 THC in Maryland, and Delta 8 THC in New Jersey. Hopefully, someday soon, this new little cannabinoid will be available for everyone in Delaware.
