A new federal law enacted on November 13, 2025, has significantly altered the legal status of cannabis seeds and clones in the United States. The legislation redefines hemp to include only cannabis plants and their parts, including seeds, that contain no more than 0.3% total THC on a dry weight basis, which now includes THCA and other THC-related compounds.
Crucially, viable seeds from plants exceeding this 0.3% total THC threshold are explicitly excluded from the hemp definition and are now classified as marijuana under federal law.

@markinkansas and this particular ban is directly aimed at California the largest state that sells this type of THC-A.
Most use this THC-A in California for medical purposes only.
It doesn't even get you high.
Luckily I don't need to use marijuana in any form. Cancer patients do.

Understanding THC-A
THC-A (Tetrahydrocannabinolic Acid) is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid found in raw cannabis. While it does not produce a high, it is believed to offer various potential medical benefits, such as anti-inflammatory properties and neuroprotective effects.
Medical Use in California
Many patients, particularly those undergoing treatment for serious conditions like cancer, utilize THC-A for its therapeutic properties without the psychoactive effects associated with THC. This is particularly important for those who may not want the altered state that THC can induce.
Implications of the Ban
The ban on THC-A could have significant impacts on:
Access: Patients may find it more difficult to obtain a product that has been beneficial for their treatment.
Market Dynamics: California, being the largest state for cannabis sales, might see shifts in the market, possibly affecting prices and availability of other cannabis products.
Advocacy: Patient advocacy groups may mobilize to challenge such bans, emphasizing the need for access to all beneficial cannabinoids for medical purposes.
