Purchase age
21+
Market status
medical-limited

The caveats that matter

  • Manufacture/distribution/sale/possession of smokable hemp (THCA flower, prerolls, vapes, carts) is a CLASS C FELONY since July 1, 2025
  • Total THC = delta-9 + 0.877 x THCA applies to all consumable hemp products
  • Surviving ingestibles are capped at 10 mg total THC/serving, 40 mg/package, sold only by ABC-licensed retailers (21+, no online sales or direct delivery)
  • Medical cannabis program exists on paper but remains barely operational (licensing litigation)

Enforcement, in practice

ABC Board has warrantless inspection/seizure power over hemp products; felony exposure makes Alabama one of the highest-risk states for flower.

What happens to THCA in Alabama after November 12, 2026?
