The Haze Connect ships federally compliant hemp products to New York. This guide explains New York’s hemp rules so you can make an informed decision. It is not legal advice.
Important context: New York’s Cannabinoid Hemp Regulation, administered by the Office of Cannabis Management (OCM), restricts intoxicating hemp products sold in the state, including per-serving and per-package THC caps and a licensed-retailer framework. Some sellers rely on the 2018 Farm Bill’s interstate-commerce provision (Section 10114) as a basis for out-of-state shipments, but how that provision interacts with New York’s restrictions has not been settled, and New York treats high-potency hemp products as restricted at retail. New York customers are responsible for understanding state law and assume the risk of ordering. Federal law also changes on November 12, 2026 under P.L. 119-37 § 781.
How New York’s Cannabinoid Hemp Framework Works
New York’s Cannabinoid Hemp Regulation was developed under the state’s broader cannabis framework (the Marijuana Regulation and Taxation Act, 2021) and applies specific rules to hemp-derived cannabinoid products sold in-state:
- Per-serving and per-package THC caps on consumable hemp products.
- Cannabinoid hemp retailer license required for in-state sales.
- Restrictions on intoxicating cannabinoids such as Delta-8 THC at retail.
- Labeling, testing, and packaging requirements for in-state hemp commerce.
The practical effect: in-state retail of high-potency hemp products is restricted, with these products generally limited to OCM-licensed cannabinoid hemp retailers.
Federal Farm Bill and New York Restrictions
Section 10114 of the 2018 Farm Bill addresses interstate transportation of federally compliant hemp. New York applies its own Cannabinoid Hemp Regulation to products sold in the state. The relationship between the federal provision and state restrictions on out-of-state direct-to-consumer shipments is legally unsettled, so customers should not treat ordering as risk-free. Federal law changes on November 12, 2026.
