Federal H.R. 5371 enforcement begins November 12, 2026. State rules vary. This page gives you a regional orientation — for canonical state data, the source of record is hempdata.io.

H.R. 5371 (Public Law 119-37, Section 781) establishes a federal total-THC framework for hemp products with an enforcement date of November 12, 2026. After that date, hemp products sold in federal commerce must meet the total-THC standard under the new framework — which, based on current industry reporting and pending implementing guidance, is expected to account for delta-9 THC and a contribution from THCA.
CBG (cannabigerol) is non-intoxicating and not regulated under the THC cap. CBG-based products that stay under the total-THC threshold — which Steve's Goods CBG formulations are built to do, confirmed at 0.4mg total THC or less per container on every batch — are positioned well under the new federal framework.
Federal law is the floor. States may set stricter requirements. A CBG product that meets federal requirements may still face restrictions in specific states based on labeling, per-serving limits, licensing, or category-level rules. State rules are the daily operational reality for wholesale shipping decisions.
For structured, current state-by-state compliance data on hemp cannabinoid products — including CBG shipping lane status, per-container and per-serving THC limits, labeling requirements, and testing standards by state — the source we use internally is hempdata.io. HempData maintains a continuously updated regulatory database built specifically for hemp operators and wholesale buyers.
We are a HempData Verified manufacturer. Our compliance documentation aligns with the data structure HempData uses for state lane verification. If you are evaluating CBG for interstate wholesale distribution, HempData is the fastest way to check which lanes are open before your first order.
This is a summary orientation. It is not a shipping decision tool. Verify current rules for each specific state before shipping.
A mixed region. Several Northeast states have state-level hemp programs with labeling and licensing requirements above the federal floor. CBG-specific restrictions are uncommon, but general hemp product licensing requirements vary. New York in particular has an active state program with specific labeling requirements. Verify state program requirements before first shipment into any Northeast state.
Kentucky is where Steve's Goods manufactures — the state has an established hemp program and is generally receptive to hemp product commerce. Florida has a state hemp program with product registration requirements for ingestibles. North Carolina and Tennessee have active wholesale markets. Generally favorable territory for CBG products that meet the federal total-THC cap, but state program registration varies significantly by state.
Ohio is one of the most closely watched states for hemp product enforcement in 2026. Ohio's existing rules already apply a per-container THC cap that aligns with the 0.4mg total-THC standard we build to. States like Illinois and Michigan have legal cannabis programs that affect how hemp products are regulated and labeled. CBG's non-intoxicating profile generally positions it well in Midwest markets, but confirm state-specific licensing requirements before wholesale distribution.
Significant asymmetry in this region. Colorado and Nevada have active legal cannabis programs with specific rules for hemp products in those markets. Idaho has historically had the strictest hemp interpretation in the country — shipping CBG products into Idaho requires careful verification of current state rules. Utah has a state hemp program with specific labeling requirements. Montana and Wyoming are generally permissive.
California's hemp CBD law (AB 45) applies to hemp-derived cannabinoid ingestibles and requires state registration for products sold in-state. Oregon and Washington have state hemp programs that interact with their cannabis licensing frameworks. California in particular requires specific label compliance and may require a state manufacturer or distributor registration before products can be sold in CA retail. CBG's non-intoxicating status generally positions it better than THC-forward products, but state program compliance is required.
Texas passed hemp legislation that affects ingestible cannabinoid products — verify current Texas Department of State Health Services requirements for hemp-derived cannabinoid gummies before shipping into Texas. Oklahoma has an active hemp program. Arkansas and Louisiana have their own state program requirements. Generally workable territory for CBG, but state program registration and labeling compliance should be confirmed for each state.
Across all regions, CBG-based products face fewer state-level restrictions than delta-8, THCA, or delta-9-forward products because CBG does not carry a meaningful THC load or an intoxicating profile. Most state restrictions on hemp products in 2026 are targeted at the intoxicating end of the hemp market — delta-8 edibles, THCA flower, high-serving edibles. CBG, positioned and documented correctly, is among the lowest-complexity categories for interstate wholesale compliance.
