Is CBG Legal?
Yes. Hemp-derived CBG is federally legal in the United States under the 2018 Farm Bill. CBG is not a scheduled substance. The product must contain less than 0.3 percent THC to maintain federal legal status. Most states follow the federal framework.
CBG is a naturally occurring hemp cannabinoid with no federal scheduling designation. The 2018 Farm Bill legalized hemp and all its derivatives when the plant contains less than 0.3 percent THC by dry weight. CBG products derived from compliant hemp are legal to manufacture, sell, and purchase under federal law. CBG has not been subject to the same regulatory debates as Delta-8 THC or certain synthetic cannabinoids because it is non-intoxicating and naturally present in hemp at meaningful concentrations without chemical modification.
State-level variation exists but is less of a concern for CBG than for psychoactive cannabinoids like Delta-8 or Delta-9 THC. Most states that have enacted cannabinoid-specific restrictions have focused on intoxicating compounds. Since CBG is non-intoxicating, it is generally unaffected by these restrictions. A small number of states have enacted broad hemp product restrictions that may apply to CBG. For current state-by-state information, NORML’s state law database is the most reliable source.
