On January 1, 2026, Tennessee’s Public Chapter 526 moved hemp-derived cannabinoid products under the Tennessee Alcoholic Beverage Commission (TABC) and changed what a store in this state may sell. This is what changed, what you can still buy at our Cool Springs store in Franklin, and where to read the rules for yourself.
What changed in 2026
- A new regulator. Oversight moved from the Tennessee Department of Agriculture to the TABC, and stores selling hemp-derived cannabinoid products now need a TABC hemp retail license.
- Delta-8 THC is out. Public Chapter 526 treats delta-8 as a synthetic cannabinoid, and synthetic cannabinoids are not permitted in any amount.
- THCp is out. The TABC states plainly that products may not contain THCp.
- THCA now counts toward total THC. Total THC is (THCA × 0.877) + delta-9 THC. That is why most THCA flower no longer qualifies as hemp.
- No delivery or shipping. Licensed retailers may not deliver or ship these products to customers, directly or indirectly. You buy in person.
- 21 and over, with ID. Sales to anyone under 21 are not permitted.
- A lab report behind every label. Each product must carry a QR code linking to its certificate of analysis, so you can check what is in it.
Not sure about a product? Ask us in store. We will help you compare its label with the certificate of analysis behind its QR code.

Questions we hear every day
Is THC legal in Tennessee in 2026?
Hemp-derived delta-9 THC products that meet Tennessee’s limits are legal for adults 21 and over, bought in person from a retailer licensed by the Tennessee Alcoholic Beverage Commission. Marijuana is not legal in Tennessee.
Is delta-8 legal in Tennessee?
No, not since January 1, 2026. Public Chapter 526 treats delta-8 THC as a synthetic cannabinoid, and the TABC does not permit synthetic cannabinoids in any amount.
Can I still buy THCA flower in Tennessee?
Generally not. Tennessee now counts THCA toward total THC, using total THC = (THCA × 0.877) + delta-9 THC. THCA flower usually tests far above the 0.3% limit once it is counted that way, so it no longer qualifies as hemp.
Is THCp legal in Tennessee?
No. The TABC states that hemp-derived cannabinoid products may not contain THCp in any amount.
Can I order hemp or THC products online in Tennessee?
No. TABC-licensed retailers may not deliver or ship hemp-derived cannabinoid products to customers, directly or indirectly. Our website is a catalog: you can browse everything here, then buy at the counter.
Do I need ID to buy hemp products?
Yes. You must be 21 or older, and we check photo ID for every purchase, including drinks and topicals.
