Delta-8 THC derived from hemp has been deemed “lawful” by the U.S. appeals court and is eligible for trademark protection.
The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals said last Thursday that because Congress legalized not just hemp but its “derivatives” and “extracts” in the 2018 Farm Bill, delta-8 THC is legal if it is derived from a hemp extract; in this case, CBD.
This ruling stems from a vaping dispute between AK Futures and Boyd Street Distro. In the dispute, AK Futures is looking to block fellow California company Boyd Street Distro from allegedly selling counterfeit versions of AK Futures’ “Cake” vapes containing delta-8 THC.
