Is hemp Δ9 legal in North Carolina?
As of Oct 2026, North Carolina defines hemp as 0.3% or less Δ9 THC by dry weight (G.S. 90-87(13a), G.S. 90-94). North Carolina has no state minimum age or retail license for hemp products today. House Bill 328, which would set a 21+ age limit and a 0.4 mg per container cap, passed the Senate on July 2, 2026 but has not passed the House. Federal note: from December 11, 2026, P.L. 119-37 §781 (delayed by P.L. 119-103) limits hemp products to 0.4 mg total THC per container. Our current full-spectrum products contain more than 0.4 mg total THC per container.
Note: federal hemp rules are also changing in late 2026. We keep this page and our products up to date as the law evolves.

Why Gold Naturals
Formulated by Dr. Yaakov Waksman, a published cannabinoid researcher (former Head of Cannabidiol Research at Cannabics Pharmaceuticals) who trained in the orbit of Dr. Raphael Mechoulam — the Israeli biochemist who isolated THC in 1964 and is widely considered the father of cannabinoid science. Made in Utah, American-grown hemp, UDAF + APRC lab tested, CO2-extracted.
