We ship our entire catalog to New Jersey customers. Place your order and we'll deliver to your NJ address like any other state. As you review your options, here is the legal context behind hemp and cannabinoid products in New Jersey.
New Jersey hemp law: the current landscape
As of April 13, 2026, New Jersey law restricts intoxicating hemp Δ9 products at the retail level to licensed cannabis retailers. Under Senate Bill 4509 (signed January 12, 2026), New Jersey narrowed the legal definition of "hemp" to close the 2018 Farm Bill loophole. Under the statute, products exceeding 0.4 milligrams of total THC per container — or containing Δ8, Δ10, THCA, or synthesized cannabinoids — are classified as cannabis, not hemp, and at brick-and-mortar retail can only be sold through licensed Class 5 Cannabis Retailers.
New Jersey's 0.4mg-per-container threshold mirrors the federal standard implemented nationwide on November 12, 2026 (Public Law 119-37). New Jersey adopted it early. This is the legal backdrop in the state — separate from Gold Naturals' shipping availability, which covers our full lineup.

What New Jersey law allows (as of May 2026)
Adult-use cannabis (licensed retailers, 21+)
New Jersey has legal adult-use cannabis. Class 5 Cannabis Retailers can sell hemp-derived cannabinoid products that meet labeling and testing rules, plus regular cannabis products.
CBD products under 0.4mg total THC per container
Compliant low-THC CBD products remain legal in general retail across the state.
Topical hemp products
Topicals that don't deliver THC systemically remain broadly available, including our Muscle + Joint Salve.
Hemp beverages (transition period)
Between April 13 and November 13, 2026, intoxicating hemp beverages can only be sold by licensed liquor stores and cannabis dispensaries (limited to 5mg THC/serving, 10mg/container). After November 13, 2026, intoxicating hemp beverage sales become unlawful entirely under New Jersey law.
What New Jersey law restricts (as of April 13, 2026)
- Δ9 gummies/edibles over 0.4mg total THC per container → cannabis retailers only at the retail level
- Δ8, Δ10, THCA, synthesized/converted cannabinoids → classified as cannabis
- Intoxicating hemp products in unlicensed brick-and-mortar stores (smoke shops, gas stations, etc.)
Enforcement: escalating civil fines — $100 first offense, $1,000 second, $10,000 each subsequent.

Frequently asked questions
Does Gold Naturals ship to New Jersey?
Yes. We ship our full product lineup — gummies, tinctures, softgels, and topicals — directly to New Jersey addresses.
Is Δ9 legal in New Jersey in 2026?
Under New Jersey law, hemp Δ9 products with 0.4mg or less total THC per container are legal in general retail. Above that threshold, they're classified as cannabis (effective April 13, 2026, under SB 4509) and sold only through licensed cannabis retailers in-state. Adults 21+ can buy higher-THC products at licensed cannabis dispensaries.
What is New Jersey SB 4509?
A law signed January 12, 2026, that narrows the definition of hemp to close the 2018 Farm Bill loophole. Effective April 13, 2026, products over 0.4mg total THC per container — or containing Δ8, Δ10, THCA, or synthesized cannabinoids — are classified as cannabis under state law.
Can I still buy CBD in New Jersey?
Yes. CBD products under the 0.4mg threshold remain legal in New Jersey, and Gold Naturals ships our CBD lineup to NJ. CBD isolate (zero detectable THC) is clearly compliant.
What about hemp beverages?
Under New Jersey law, between April 13 and November 13, 2026, they're restricted to licensed liquor stores and cannabis dispensaries. After November 13, 2026, intoxicating hemp beverage sales are unlawful in the state.
Will hemp Δ9 show up on a NJ drug test?
Yes — hemp Δ9 metabolizes the same as cannabis Δ9. For drug-test-safe relief, use the topical salve.
How does NJ's law connect to the federal November 12 change?
New Jersey's 0.4mg-per-container threshold matches the federal standard taking effect November 12, 2026. NJ implemented it about 7 months early.
