As used in this chapter, “hemp” means the plant Cannabis sativa L. and any part of that plant, including the seeds thereof and all derivatives, extracts, cannabinoids, isomers, acids, salts, and salts of isomers, whether growing or not, with a delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol concentration of not more than three-tenths of one percent (0.3%) on a dry weight basis.

37-2701. DEFINITIONS.

(p) “Hemp” means the plant Cannabis sativa L. and any part of that plant, including the seeds thereof and all derivatives, extracts, cannabinoids, isomers, acids, salts, and salts of isomers, whether growing or not, with a delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol concentration of not more than three-tenths of one percent (0.3%) on a dry weight basis, the research an development of which, among other activities, are expressly authorized by chapter 17, title 22, Idaho Code.

(u) “Marijuana” means all parts of the plant of the genus Cannabis, regardless of species, and whether growing or not; the seeds thereof; the resin extracted from any part of such plant; and every compound, manufacture, salt, derivative, mixture, or preparation of such plant, its seeds or resin. It does not include hemp or the mature stalks of the plant unless the same are intermixed with prohibited parts thereof, fiber produced from the stalks, oil or cake made from the seeds or the achene of such plant, any other compound, manufacture, salt, derivative, mixture, or preparation of the mature stalks, except the resin extracted therefrom or where the same are intermixed with prohibited parts of such plant, fiber, oil, or cake, or the sterilized seed of such plant which is incapable of germination.

b. ∆ 6 cis or trans tetrahydrocannabinol, and their optical isomers.

The Future of Cannabis in Idaho

If you want to see a change in these laws, we recommend you voice your opinions to your local and state lawmakers. Idaho follows similar laws regarding Delta 8 THC in Utah and Delta 8 THC in Delaware. Unfortunately, they didn't follow the same vein as the Delta 8 THC in Washington. The only way that law are changed is if the will of the people is known.  If you would like to see CBD and Delta 8 THC products in your state, let your representatives know!
