Idaho hemp and THC laws may seem unnecessarily long and even confusing (four scores and yawn!). But no worries…this blog gives it to you straight. Well, then? Is Delta 8 legal in Idaho? Let’s find out.
According to the 2018 Farm Bill, the federal government considers industrial hemp and hemp-derived products legal “just as long as the Delta-9 THC contents are less than 0.3% of total dry weight.”
While the federal government is cool with hemp-derived Delta-8, Idaho heavily restricts it and considers any chemical substances classified as THC to be a schedule drug! According to Idaho’s Uniform Controlled Substances Act, all versions of THC are classified as the same substance AKA (lawmakers don’t really care where it’s sourced from, it’s all illegal).
Even though hemp-sourced Delta-8 is legal within the federal definition, the Gem State says otherwise.
The State defines “hemp” as the plant Cannabis sativa L. and any part of that plant, including the seeds thereof and all cannabinoids, derivatives, extracts, isomers, acids, salts, and salts of isomers, whether growing or not, with a delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol concentration of less than three-tenths of one percent (0.3%) on a dry weight basis.
However, The State’s House Bill 126, “Industrial Hemp Bill,” only allows hemp-based products with no THC. But don’t give up just yet; we may have a workaround for this.
We suggest you check the latest lab reports for any of these products and contact the company you get them from for confirmation. You can never be too careful with these THC varieties.
To think the entire history of Delta 8 began with a couple of chemists playing Breaking Bad (go figure, Idaho, ha!).
Delta-8 exists naturally in hemp and cannabis plants, but in tiny amounts; however, chemists found a way to extract from CBD and THC. (That’s why some state lawmakers might consider it one of the synthetic substances and restrict it.)
Today’s Delta 8 THC helps alleviate pain and anxiety, among many other health benefits, without most of the adverse side effects associated with Delta 9 THC.
The most frequent findings share Delta 8’s potential to help with inflammation and stress while elevating your mood and quality of sleep (and so much more). Read more about Delta-8 with our complete Delta-8 Guide.
Well, you struck out on this one; you can’t buy Delta 8 in Idaho, even online (do you see the big but coming here?.) BUT! You can buy other CBD products to get what you need.
According to the Idaho code, that’s meant to provide legislative intent on hemp manufacturing and consumption; there are other hemp plant goodies than can help you out while staying 100% legal.

Per Idaho State law on Food, Drugs, and Oils:
“(g) (1) It is unlawful for any person to manufacture or distribute a “simulated controlled substance” or to possess with intent to distribute a “simulated controlled substance.”
In short, Idaho lawmakers believe even 0.001% of THC is controlled substance worthy; listing this material in their Schedule 1 drug no-gos (the worst of the drug lists) can get you some heavy penalties.
Absolutely not! The State law states:
“All parts of the plant, whether growing or not; the seeds, prohibited parts thereof; the resin extracted therefrom any part of the cannabis plant;…or preparation of the plant Cannabis Sativa L. or its seeds or resin, including Delta 9…of the plant Cannabis Sativa L., fiber produced from the stalks, oil, or cake made from the seeds of such plant material.”
So, sadly these narrow classifications on both Miss MJ and hemp-derived THC mean Idaho is strictly sticking to CBD for now.
Idaho hemp laws still narrowly identify THC and any cannabinoids of similar chemical structure as controlled substances.
Let’s be real, though…this hasn’t stopped anyone in the U.S. from finding a product that serves the same purpose from other sources. But why gamble buying questionable chemical substances with no real hemp material?
(Cue the internet!)

THC is illegal in Idaho, unfortunately, but there’s a workaround. Idaho code, House Bill 126, legalized hemp-derived products only if there are zero traces of THC…(the psychoactive substances contained in the plant Cannabis Sativa). So you can check the Non-THC section on our website for various legal hemp products in Idaho.
Nope. Even though Delta 8 is legal on a federal level, several state laws carry unfavorable legislative intent on THC, often identifying these hallucinogenic substances as controlled substances!
Most dispensaries allow people 21+ with proper identification to purchase from their THC and CBD selections.
Yes. Idaho laws consider any form of THC, including Delta 8, an illegal substance and have it on its controlled substances list.
