Delta 8 THC is undoubtedly a hot topic right now, and THC fans in the Beaver State couldn’t miss out on this new Delta on the block, but can they purchase it? And is Delta 8 THC legal in Oregon? Keep reading to find out.
Delta 8 THC is not legal in Oregon.
Delta 9 is currently legal in Oregon and is available in hemp-derived edible products.
Delta 9 THC is the primary psychoactive component of cannabis and hemp plants.
Delta 8 and Delta 9 share a similar molecular structure.
You can buy hemp-derived Delta 9 in-store and online.
Oregon has legalized recreational marijuana since July 2015.
Medical marijuana is legal in Oregon thanks to the Oregon Medical Marijuana Act.
Hemp-derived cannabinoids are legal under federal ruling as long as the total Delta-9 THC contents of the final product are less than 0.3% of the total dry weight.
Of course, each State has its own laws regarding the cannabis plant and its cannabinoids.
Unfortunately, in this case, Delta 8 THC is not legal in Oregon! However, other hemp-derived cannabinoids are still legal!
In order to explain that statement, you need to understand more about Delta 8 THC.
Delta 8 THC is one of the naturally occurring cannabinoids, but it only exists in trace amounts.
Delta 8 THC shares a very similar molecular structure to Delta 9 THC, the primary active ingredient in marijuana.
So, in order for manufacturers to extract it in large quantities, they started extracting it via a fairly common chemical process from naturally occurring cannabinoids such as Delta-9 THC and CBD.
The chemical process alters the molecular structure of CBD and THC to extract other cannabinoids from it, such as Delta 8 THC, CBN, Delta 10, and THC acetate aka (THC-O).

Now, let’s see how that affects the legal definition in Oregon.
The Beaver state allows extracting naturally occurring cannabinoids such as Delta 9 THC, CBD, and other cannabinoids.
However, the State passed a new law on July 1, 2022, prohibiting “artificially derived cannabinoids” you might ask what that means.
The state officials argue that cannabinoids made with any chemical process that alters the molecular structure of any other compound derived from cannabis or hemp are considered “artificial.”
The term also includes non-psychoactive cannabinoids such as CBN.
According to Oregon Liquor and Cannabis Commission (OLCC), “the lack of sufficient testing necessitated the ban,” as many Delta 8 products on the market lack testing protocols. That’s why reputable brands such as BiowellnessX always test their products for safety and purity. See the lab report example.
So, in conclusion, according to the State’s legal definition, Delta 8 THC products are considered illegal, while Delta-9 THC products and full-spectrum CBD products are still legal!

Oregon is one of the states in the US that has legalized recreational cannabis (specific amounts.) This means that residents can legally purchase and use marijuana for pleasure.
However, it is essential to note that at a federal level, marijuana is still a controlled substance and is illegal. This means that using, selling, or transporting marijuana across state lines is still a crime.
It’s a real bummer that Delta 8 is banned in Oregon. But don’t worry; there are still some great alternatives that you can get legally in the Beaver State.
