2. US Federal Statutory Compliance & The 2026 Transition
The legal status of cannabis seeds is governed by the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018 (the “2018 Farm Bill”) and subsequent federal appropriations.
- 2.1 Federal Definition of Hemp: Pursuant to 7 U.S.C. § 1639o, “hemp” is defined as the plant Cannabis sativa L. and any part of that plant, including the seeds thereof, with a delta-9 THC concentration of not more than 0.3% on a dry weight basis. On January 6, 2022, the DEA formally affirmed that cannabis seeds meet this definition and are not controlled substances.
- 2.2 Transition to “Total THC” (H.R. 5371): Pursuant to the Continuing Appropriations Act of 2026 (H.R. 5371), the federal government has established a “Total THC” standard (Delta-9 THC + THCA). Botanist Seeds is currently operating within the federally mandated grace period concluding on November 12, 2026.
