It is often said that your mood can make or break your day. This explains why many are turning to CBD products to improve their mood. But of course, the common question that needs answering is, “Are mood gummies legal?”
However, the legality of mood gummies carries considerable complexities. This is because federal and local laws affect mood gummies’ legal status. In this post, we will help you understand the legal landscape for mood gummies so that you will make an informed choice.
How Does the Federal Government View Mood Gummies?
The federal government’s treatment of mood gummies is primarily influenced by the legal status of their natural ingredients. CBD and THC cannabinoids are two compounds that are carefully considered. These naturally occurring compounds are found in both hemp and cannabis plants.
The Federal law also regulates CBD and THC products. Some of them are CBD mood gummies and Delta 9 THC mood gummies.
Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and Mood Gummies
DEA classifies cannabis and its derivatives under the Controlled Substances Act (CSA). THC, the known psychoactive compound of recreational and medical marijuana, is recognized as a Schedule I substance. It implies THC is an illegal substance at the federal level.
Now, the Agriculture Improvement Act 2018 (the 2018 Farm Bill) is a monumental federal bill. It significantly changed the CBD and THC landscape. The Farm Bill legalizes hemp and its derivatives as long as they contain low THC concentration (less than 0.3% by dry weight).
Mood Gummies Derived from Hemp Plants
Mood gummies from hemp plants are considered federally legal. The provisions of the 2018 Farm Bill make this possible. The mentioned federal law made hemp-derived products federally legal across the United States.
Hemp is defined as cannabis with trace amounts of THC (less than 0.3% by dry weight). This quality sets it apart from medical and recreational marijuana. The latter contains high concentrations of THC.
Taking mood gummies infused with CBD would not produce psychoactive effects. Cannabidiol does not produce the high we typically associate with Delta 8 THC and Delta 9 THC products.
Since CBD derived from hemp is federally legal, mood gummies containing this form of CBD can be marketed and sold in many states. It is also important that they adhere to the THC limit and other regulatory requirements.
To ensure compliance with federal and state laws, Stirling CBD mood gummies undergo rigorous third-party lab tests to identify their THC concentration levels. Each mood gummy product we sell has Certificates of Analysis to ensure that it contains less THC, within the legal limit set by the government.
However, it is important to emphasize that state laws differ on how they view mood gummies from hemp. Some embraced federal guidelines, while others have more restrictive laws that could limit or even ban specific THC and CBD products from hemp.
Mood Gummies Derived from Cannabis Plants
Mood gummies that come from the cannabis plant, specifically those that have THC levels exceeding 0.3%, are treated differently by federal law. The products mentioned are generally designated as “marijuana-derived,” subjecting them to stricter federal and state regulations.
There are also cases in which the CBD extract from hemp is identified as a lawful marijuana extract. The legalization of hemp allowed hemp-derived products like CBD and THC mood gummies to enter the market legally. This status lasts as they comply with current federal and state laws.
A cannabis plant that generates higher levels of THC is identified as marijuana based on federal law. Because of this, it is a Scheduled I substance, meaning cannabis products are illegal at the federal level. Mood gummies from cannabis plants may also share the same status due to some safety concerns. For one, Delta 8 and Delta 9 THC produce a psychoactive high that could alter a person’s perception and coordination.
Now, amid federal prohibitions, some states have determined to legalize marijuana – both medical and recreational marijuana products. In these states, mood gummies (either they contain Delta 8 THC or Delta 9 THC) from the marijuana plant are legally produced, sold, and consumed, provided they comply with state regulations. The regulations normally imply strict testing requirements, clear and proper labeling, and prohibitions of sales to minors. Also, in one US state, a cannabis council was formed to explain why THC products from cannabis plants must be legalized, provided they conform to certain state regulations.
What Are Mood Gummies?
“Mood Gummies” are edible supplements that can enhance or stabilize your mood. Mood gummies contain cannabinoids from the hemp plant, such as CBD and THC (Either Delta 8 THC or Delta 9 THC).
CBD (Cannabidiol)
- Derived from USA-grown hemp plant
- This plant compound is federally legal, provided it comes from the hemp plant with trace amounts of THC (fewer than 0.3% THC)
- It is a non-intoxicating organic compound.
- Some possible therapeutic effects may include calmness, combatting overthinking, reducing stress, and improving sleep.
- This cannabinoid may be available in CBD gummies, tinctures, and capsules.
THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol)
- To be federally legal, THC must come from the hemp plant with less than 0.3% THC.
- It can either be Delta 8 THC or Delta 9 THC.
- Being a psychoactive compound found among hemp and cannabis, THC may lead to a high typically associated with marijuana consumption.
- THC can induce euphoria and relaxation, contributing to an uplifted mood. It is often included in mood gummies in lower concentrations to avoid strong psychoactive effects while still providing mood-enhancing benefits.
- It is federally illegal, but some states may allow its distribution for medical and recreational purposes if it complies with specific state laws.
How Do Mood Gummies Work?
Mood gummies are edibles that can interact with the body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS). The ECS is discovered to be comprised of specific cannabinoid receptors where CBD and THC interact. All vertebrates possess ECS, which regulates mood, stress, and overall mental well-being.
When you consume mood gummies, CBD and THC will interact with the human ECS.
For CBD
CBD primarily attaches itself to the CB2 receptors. Because of this interaction, CBD can produce a modulating effect on the ECS. Regarding the CB1 receptors, the non-intoxicating cannabinoid does not directly bind to them. CBD influences them indirectly.
Through mentioned interactions, CBD may help reduce overthinking and stress. Thus, the person gains an improved mood.
For THC
Unlike its CBD counterpart, THC directly binds to CB1 receptors located in the human brain. This explains the psychoactive effects of THC. In low doses, THC may induce relaxation that sets the stage for an improved mood.

Unlike traditional extraction methods that rely on solvents, our cavitation process harnesses the power of nature and technology to deliver a pure and potent extract.
Here’s a brief overview of our exclusive extraction process:
- Hemp biomass is immersed in 33-degree distilled ice water to freeze the trichomes.
- The biomass is propelled past a high-speed impeller, causing trichomes to burst and release compounds.
- The ice water, now enriched with cannabinoids, undergoes a careful refinement process or filtration through a 40-micron Screen Filter.
- The result is a final extract of pure CBD with unparalleled purity and potency, preserving the natural integrity of cannabinoids for maximum therapeutic benefit.
