As much as we love a cliffhanger, we won’t leave you hanging this time—Delta-9 is legal in Alaska and can be purchased today.
Delta-9 is the most commonly known form of THC. In fact, many people refer to it as just, “THC”.
If you have enjoyed hemp in the past, this is the product you have been waiting for. Keep reading as we direct you on buying Delta-9 in Alaska, hemp law, and where to purchase Delta-9.
If you follow the news, you may already know that hemp is federally legal under the 2018 Farm Bill. But this may leave you wondering—is Delta 9 THC legal in Alaska?
Of course, it is! As of this writing hemp-derived and marijuana-derived Delta-9 THC is legal in Alaska.
Under Senate Bill 27, Alaska legally separated marijuana and hemp, legalized hemp cultivation, and the sale of hemp products. Because hemp is both legal in Alaska and on a federal level, hemp products can be shipped into the state as long as it does not contain more than 0.3% of Delta 9 on a dry weight basis.
Below are some highlights of SB 27:
(5) "industrial hemp" means [ALL PARTS AND VARIETIES OF] the plant Cannabis sativa L. and any part of that plant, including its seeds and all derivatives, extracts, cannabinoids, isomers, acids, salts, and salts of isomers, whether growing or not, with a delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol concentration of [CONTAINING] not more than 0.3 percent on a dry-weight basis [DELTA-9-TETRAHYDROCANNABINOL].
(E) permit manufacturing and retail sale of industrial hemp and products made from industrial hemp;
(B) require testing, paid for by the registrant, for delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol concentration following harvest of the industrial hemp;
(2) may issue a stop order to a person registered under AS 03.05.076 who is found to be producing a plant with delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol between 0.3 percent and one percent [OVER 0.3 PERCENT, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE PERSON IS REGISTERED UNDER AS 03.05.076. THE COMMISSIONER OF NATURAL RESOURCES SHALL NOTIFY THE MARIJUANA CONTROL BOARD AND THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY WHEN THE COMMISSIONER ISSUES A STOP ORDER]
There are over 113 cannabinoids that can be derived from hemp. However, the top three cannabinoids in demand are CBD, Delta 8 THC, and Delta 9 THC.
There was a time when Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol was solely associated with “weed,” but after the 2018 Farm Bill passed it became more common to extract it from hemp as long as it’s within the legal concentration limit.
It’s this reason why you will only find products with noticeable amounts of hemp-derived Detla-9 THC in the form of gummies, cereal bars, and other edibles.
Currently, recreational marijuana is legal in Alaska, but depending on where you are located, you may not be near a dispensary. Luckily for you, you can buy Delta-9 products online in Alaska. Products containing hemp-derived Delta-9 that are within the federal concentration limit can be purchased with a card and shipped directly to you because they are federally legal.
At Hometown Hero, we ship our products all over the country because our hemp products meet federal guidelines, even our Delta-9 gummies.
Our Delta-9 line comes in multiple variants. For example, our Select Spectrum line features a 1:1 ratio of hemp-derived Delta-9 to CBD along with minor cannabinoids. And our Live Rosin line features a terpene rich extract paired with the cannabinoid.

Delta 8 and Delta 9 are both forms of THC, but they are separate compounds that offer their own unique effects. Although they share the same chemical formula, they differ in molecular structure.
Delta 8 and Delta 9 both hold a double bond, but they hold it in different locations. Delta 8 has a double bond located on the eighth carbon chain, whereas Delta 9 has a double bond located on the ninth carbon chain.
Although this difference may not seem significant, it is. Where the bond is located will affect how the cannabinoid binds to your receptors, which determines the effects. It has been reported that Delta 8 has similar properties similar to Delta 9 but with less potency and different effects.
Delta 9 reacts a little differently with each person, so it is difficult to identify what effects may arise for you. However, here are some common effects that enthusiasts have reported feeling:
Remember, these effects are not guaranteed and will vary from person to person. To encourage the ideal experience, we recommend starting small, so you can gauge where your tolerance lies. Lastly, take hemp-derived Delta-9 in a safe and controlled environment. The preferred setting would be at home with a small group of trusted friends.
Like anything, if you use Delta 9 safely and responsibly, it is generally safe. You cannot drive a vehicle or operate heavy machinery after consuming THC. If you are new to Delta-9 and are uncertain if it is the right fit for you, seek advice from your physician.
After taking Delta-9, you are in no physical danger, but you may be a bit “overwhelmed” or experience intense feelings if you consume too much. This is why we recommend starting small and increasing the amount as needed.
If you think you accidentally consumed too much, we recommend keeping your mind occupied. Some relaxing activities you may enjoy are watching movies, listening to music, or taking a nap.
