🔥 Intro: Wait… This is Legal?
If you’ve tried a THCA pre-roll or a Delta-9 gummy from OG Express, you’re probably thinking:
“How is this even legal?”
You’re not alone.
We get this question every day — and the answer lies in a law passed in 2018 that flipped the cannabis world upside down. In this blog, we’ll break down how federally legal THC products exist, why they’re blowing up, and how OG Express keeps it 💯 while delivering premium highs.
🇺🇸 The Law That Changed Everything: 2018 Farm Bill
The 2018 Farm Bill did something radical:
It legalized hemp — as long as it contains less than 0.3% Delta-9 THC by dry weight.
Here’s the key part:
“Hemp” is defined as the cannabis plant and any part of it (including seeds, extracts, and cannabinoids), with a Delta-9 THC concentration of no more than 0.3% on a dry weight basis.
That means:
✔️ THCA? ✅ Legal
✔️ Delta-8? ✅ Legal
✔️ Hemp-derived Delta-9? ✅ Legal
(as long as the finished product is under 0.3% Δ9-THC by dry weight)
So yes — those gummies, pre-rolls, and vapes that feel just like dispensary-grade products?
They’re federally legal under this loophole.
🔬 Dry Weight Explained (This is the Loophole)
Let’s say a gummy weighs 4 grams (4000 mg).
- 0.3% of 4g = 12mg
- So legally, you can fit up to 12mg of Delta-9 THC into that one gummy
That’s enough to feel real effects — especially with full-spectrum formulations.
💡 This is how brands like OG Express craft compliant, potent edibles that work and stay legal.
🚫 But Isn’t THC Illegal?
THC is federally illegal only when:
- It’s Δ9-THC above 0.3% by dry weight
- It’s not derived from hemp
- It’s not part of a state-compliant cannabis program
OG Express uses hemp-derived cannabinoids and ensures every product is lab-tested to meet that golden 0.3% rule.
So we stay within federal law, while delivering what you actually want:
👉 Products that hit.
⚖️ State Laws Still Matter (So Read This)
Even though these products are legal federally, some states have banned or restricted:
- Delta-8
- THCA
- Hemp-derived Δ9
OG Express only ships to states where our products are compliant.
⚠️ Check our shipping policy or your local laws before ordering.
📦 Legal Doesn’t Mean Weak
Here’s the real kicker:
Just because it’s legal, doesn’t mean it’s mid.
In fact, OG Express products often match — or exceed — the quality of dispensary flower and edibles:
- THCA Flower looks, smells, and smokes like top-shelf weed
- Hemp-derived Δ9 Gummies are potent and consistent
- THCA Diamonds deliver ultra-refined hits
💥 The law might limit the form, but not the fire.
🔍 Lab Testing & Transparency
Every OG Express product comes with a COA (Certificate of Analysis) to prove:
- Compliant Δ9-THC levels
- Accurate potency
- No heavy metals, pesticides, or BS
We don’t cut corners — we build trust through transparency. Check our COAs online or scan the QR codes on your packaging.
🧠 Why This Matters
You shouldn’t have to:
- Jump through hoops to feel good
- Worry about breaking the law with every toke
- Sacrifice quality for legality
That’s why OG Express exists — to offer premium hemp products that are:
- ✅ Effective
- ✅ Legal
- ✅ Accessible

Q: Can I travel with OG Express products?
A: Generally yes, if you’re flying domestically and the destination state allows it. Always carry products in original packaging with lab results.
