In December of 2018, the relevant Farm Bill was signed into law. Under 7 USC 1639(o), hemp is defined as the plant Cannabis sativa L. and any part of that plant, including seeds thereof, and all derivatives, extracts, cannabinoids, isomers, acids, salts and salts of isomers, whether growing or not, with a delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol concentration of not more than 0.3% on a dry weight basis. This definition removed hemp, cannabis seeds, and derivatives of cannabis with no more than 0.3% THC on a dry weight basis from the definition of marijuana in the Controlled Substance Act, effectively legalizing hemp throughout the United States.
The plain language of the 2018 Farm Bill therefore considers the THC content of the seed itself at harvest, not the THC content of the cannabis plant those seeds will grow into because no part of the cannabis plant is “marihuana” until harvested at 0.3% THC content or above—even if the genetics of the plant are designed to produce marijuana. This means that seeds are not inherently illegal because they can be “hemp” at harvest if THC content does not exceed 0.3% by dry weight.
On January 6, 2022, the DEA issued a letter reinforcing this interpretation. In that letter the DEA clarified its position that material that is derived or extracted from the cannabis plant such as tissue culture and any other genetic material that has a delta-9 THC concentration of not more than 0.3% on a dry weight basis meets the definition of hemp and is therefore not a controlled substance under the CSA. Because all seeds of the Cannabis sativa L. plant do not contain more than 0.3% delta-9 THC, the DEA’s position bolsters and reinforces our analysis and conclusion that cannabis seeds are lawful hemp material and not controlled substances.
