Restricted. New Jersey's S3235/A4461 (P.L. 2024, c.73), signed September 12, 2024 and effective October 12, 2024, caps hemp-derived delta-9 products at 0.5 mg total THC per serving and 2.5 mg per package outside the cannabis system. Anything above those limits qualifies as an intoxicating hemp product and may only be sold by Cannabis Regulatory Commission licensees. Most commercial hemp-derived delta-9 edibles and beverages exceed those caps and cannot be sold at general retail.
