In Louisiana—a state known for its vibrant music scene and culinary richness—the use of hemp-derived Delta-8 THC aligns with both federal legislation and state-specific guidelines.

Further, as stipulated by Louisiana Revised Statutes § 3:1462, industrial hemp (which encompasses all derivatives, extracts, cannabinoids, isomers, acids, salts, and salts of isomers) is considered to have a total Delta-9 THC concentration that does not exceed 0.3% on a dry weight basis.
And importantly, the Louisiana Administrative Code Title 7:XLV.303 specifies that the total THC (sum of Delta-9 THC and Delta-8 THC) should not surpass one percent (1%).
