Delta-8 and Hemp THC Laws in Alaska

Alaska does not allow hemp-derived intoxicating THC products to be sold to consumers. Under the Division of Agriculture's industrial hemp regulations (effective November 3, 2023), any hemp product for human or animal consumption must be endorsed by the division before sale, and the division may not endorse a product that contains delta-9-THC or a non-naturally occurring cannabinoid, including one made from a hemp extract and modified beyond its original form. The division's January 31, 2025 advisory notice lists delta-8, delta-10, delta-6, THCA, THCV, THCP and HHC products sourced from hemp, and delta-9 THC even below 0.3%, as prohibited; it can issue notices of violation, civil fines and stop orders, seize products and refer violations for criminal prosecution. The notice also states that delivering or possessing with intent to deliver delta-9 THCA without a Marijuana Control Board license is a controlled substance crime (a class C felony for one ounce or more, a class A misdemeanor for any amount).
