Why We Exist
“Delaware hemp retailers are facing increased enforcement under total-THC testing, even though hemp remains federally legal. Our association exists to protect lawful hemp commerce and to advance a balanced regulatory framework centered on safety, transparency, and consumer access.”

Why Now
Stats list:
- 13 states have outlawed delta-8 THC specifically. MPP
- 32 states have enacted some form of regulation around intoxicating hemp products. KCUR
- Delaware’s rules conform to 0.3% delta-9 THC post-decarboxylation on a dry weight basis.
- Delaware DOJ is already enforcing monopoly-style rules, treating THCa as marijuana regardless of federal protections.
The risk: If we don’t act, Delaware hemp businesses will be shut out in favor of dispensary monopolies.
The opportunity: With unity, we can push for a safe, transparent, and open-market framework that protects both consumers and small businesses.
