What is the legal THC content in Tennessee?

• A. 0.3% THC or less.
• B. 0.5% THC or less.
• C. 1.0% THC or less.
• D. 2.0% THC or less.

Answer: (A)

In Tennessee, hemp is defined by a delta-9 THC concentration of 0.3% or less on a dry weight basis. This threshold mirrors the federal standard used to separate hemp from marijuana, giving hemp products a legal boundary. Measuring on a dry weight basis matters because moisture can inflate percentages; removing the water content provides a consistent, comparable measure across different products and samples. So, anything that would push the delta-9 THC above 0.3% on a dry weight basis falls outside the hemp definition and into a category that isn’t legally hemp. The other higher limits would not meet Tennessee’s hemp criteria and would be treated as marijuana or non-hemp under the law.
