What Is THC-O-Acetate and Is It Legal?

THC-O-Acetate is one of many new cannabinoids that has gained unprecedented momentum in the past decade. It is a synthesized cannabinoid, which means that it can’t be extracted from the cannabis plant.

So why should you even care about THC-O?

What Is THC-O?

Experts have been aware of THC-O since the late 1940s when the US military began studying its short-term exposure effects tested on a number of studies. 

But even so, THC-O did not appear on the illegal market until 30 years later, potentially due to the technical difficulty involved with the production process. The compound was quickly dismissed by law enforcement as problematic and all but abandoned their research. 

THC-O is made by taking the THC molecule and adding to it acetic anhydride. While THC-O doesn’t exactly come from hemp in its final form, the THC used to manufacture THC-O does, which puts the component in the grey area of state regulation.

A series of extraction processes are performed to isolate Delta 8 THC from the hemp plant. Then the acetic anhydride is added to those molecules and then you have THC-O-Acetate. In order to do this correctly, manufacturers need to operate under controlled conditions that ensure the safety of the public and keep health risks to a minimum.

This is why you want to purchase your THC-O products from reliable retailers and trustworthy brands. At the Hemmfy marketplace, you’ll find a wide variety of globally leading cannabis brands and a wide range of THC-O products to choose from.

Is THC-O Legal?

As long as the THC used to manufacture THC-O-Acetate is extracted from the hemp plant and does not surpass the 0.3% Delta 9 THC content limit, then, technically, it would be covered by the 2018 Farm Bill. However, regulation around all things cannabis tends to change very frequently and state laws should always be consulted before acquiring any cannabis-derived products.

Purchasing THC-O products from retailers like Hemmfy that have crossed their ‘t’s ensures that your product will always make it safely to your doorstep.
