Tennessee, USA hemp laws: quick overview
Tennessee defines “hemp” as Cannabis sativa L. and its derivatives with delta‑9 THC not exceeding 0.3% on a dry weight basis (Tenn. Code § 43‑27‑101, effective April 4 2019) ([law.justia.com](https://law.justia.com/codes/tennessee/title-43/chapter-27/part-1/section-43-27-101/?utm_source=openai)). In 2025, House Bill 1376 (Public Chapter 526), signed May 21 2025, redefined hemp‑derived cannabinoid products (HDCPs) to include non‑delta‑9 cannabinoids above 0.1%, or hemp‑derived products with delta‑9 THC ≤ 0.3%, and imposed a total THC (including theoretical THCA) limit of 0.3% dry weight, effective January 1 2026 ([tn.gov](https://www.tn.gov/content/dam/tn/revenue/documents/notices/tobacco/25-11tob.pdf?utm_source=openai)). The law transferred regulatory oversight from the Department of Agriculture to the Tennessee Alcoholic Beverage Commission (TABC) as of January 1 2026 ([tn.gov](https://www.tn.gov/agriculture/businesses/hemp.html?utm_source=openai)).
Shipping guidance
Inbound shipments of hemp‑derived cannabinoid products are prohibited; all sales must occur in person at TABC‑licensed retail locations. Direct‑to‑consumer shipping and delivery are banned under HB 1376 (effective January 1 2026) ([legalclarity.org](https://legalclarity.org/is-delta-8-illegal-in-tennessee-the-current-law/?utm_source=openai)).
Testing & COA guidance
Third‑party lab testing is required, including potency and contaminants, with COA accessible via QR code. Products must comply with total THC ≤ 0.3% dry weight. Tennessee previously required testing under TDA rules; these remain in force until June 30 2026 for TDA‑issued licenses ([legalclarity.org](https://legalclarity.org/is-delta-8-illegal-in-tennessee-the-current-law/?utm_source=openai)). ISO 17025 accreditation is not explicitly mentioned in statutes.

What to avoid
Delta‑8 THC products, THCA flower or concentrates that exceed 0.3% total THC, synthetic cannabinoids, intoxicating hemp products, and any products sold online or shipped directly to consumers are banned under HB 1376 effective January 1 2026 ([legalclarity.org](https://legalclarity.org/is-delta-8-legal-in-tennessee-state-laws-and-rules/?utm_source=openai)).
