Delta-9 THC (Hemp) in Arkansas
Current legal status
Act 629 (2023) and Act 934 (2025) ban intoxicating hemp-derived Delta-9 products and add a total-THC basis. Whether compliant sub-0.3%, low-total-THC Delta-9 edibles remain permissible is contested following the Eighth Circuit's June 24, 2025 ruling allowing enforcement, so the status is treated as an unresolved gray area.
Statute: Ark. Act 629 (2023, SB 358); Act 934 (2025)
Federal Law Change — November 12, 2026
Arkansas already prohibits intoxicating hemp-derived cannabinoids under Act 629 (2023) and Act 934 (2025), enforced statewide since the Eighth Circuit's June 24, 2025 ruling. Section 781 of H.R. 5371 (Pub. L. 119-37), effective November 12, 2026, adds a federal 0.4 mg total-THC-per-container cap that reinforces the existing state ban and forecloses any low-dose Delta-9 channel that remains contested under state law.

Full federal ban details →Note: Act 629 (2023, SB 358) banned Delta-8, Delta-10, and other converted intoxicating hemp cannabinoids as Schedule VI substances; Act 934 (2025) added a total-THC basis and placed enforcement with the Arkansas Tobacco Control Board. The Eighth Circuit vacated the injunction on June 24, 2025 (Bio Gen v. Sanders), and thousands of products have been seized since. Non-intoxicating CBD remains legal.
