Whether you’re new to the world of cannabis or just outside your home state, “are edibles legal here?” is absolutely a fair question. Navigating federal laws, state laws, and even city or county laws (not to mention the legality of hemp vs marijuana, recreational vs medical use, etc.) is enough to make anyone’s head spin—and not in the fun kind of way.
So, whether the magical algorithm put you here (thanks, Google!) or you landed here some other way, here’s a guide to the legality of edibles in all 50 states.
Let’s break it down!
Are Edibles Illegal?
Before we start our trek across the U.S. to take a look at individual state cannabis laws, let’s take care of a little housekeeping.
Many states permit the use or possession of marijuana under state law, even though it remains illegal under federal law. So, while you might be permitted by the state you’re in to use cannabis, there is always the potential for some federal enforcement (with increased likelihood in spaces operating under federal jurisdiction, such as airports). Federal law does, however, allow the use of hemp products — those cannabis plants with less than 0.3% THC — making hemp an exception (read more about hemp-derived THC here), even in states where marijuana is banned. That said, some states still prohibit or restrict the use of hemp under state law.
This means that while THC products can be legal in one state (under state law, at least), they can be partially legal in some, or even completely illegal in others. That major caveat out of the way, if you find yourself in a state where THC — whether hemp-derived or marijuana-derived — is plain old legal under state law, then edible products like gummies, beverages, and snacks are generally legal at the state level as well.
Yes, the laws are definitely confusing, which is why we’re going to simplify everything and give it to you straight based on which state you’re in.

Are Edibles Legal in Your State?
It’s time to make our trip across the country, going state-by-state to check out current cannabis state laws (as of July 2025). For each state, we’ll look at three different statuses:
-
Legal Status of Marijuana Under State Law. We’ll list if marijuana is illegal, restricted to medical use, or fully legal under state law.
-
Legal Status of Hemp-derived Delta-9 THC Under State Law. We’ll list if hemp-derived delta-9 THC edibles are illegal, restricted (which typically means there is some type of limit on the potency or serving sizes of products available), or fully legal under state law.
-
Decriminalized Under State Law. We’ll simply say yes or no, with no meaning that you can go to jail or prison for possession/usage of marijuana.
It’s important to note that we’re specifically looking at delta-9 THC when talking about hemp-derived THC in this article. That means other forms of THC (i.e., delta-8, delta-10, THC-0, etc.) may still be restricted or banned in states where hemp-derived delta-9 THC is fully legal. It’s a detail you don’t really need to worry about here, but it’s worth mentioning.

*Note: Laws and regulations pertaining to cannabis products are constantly changing. For the most up-to-date laws, we recommend consulting state government resources.

FAQs
You’ve confirmed that edibles are good to go in your state, hooray! But you still might have some other questions, which is only fair considering how confusing this subject is. So, we put together some answers to a few other common things you might be wondering.
Can You Buy Edibles Online?
Doordash, Uber Eats, Postmates- we’ve gotten accustomed to having our goodies delivered to our door without having to put on what society deems “socially acceptable pants.” Good news! Ordering edibles online to have delivered is totally a thing. Provided that you’re in a state where some form of edible is legal under state law, there’s a good chance online ordering is an option. (You can take a look at the states where we ship our delicious, effects-based hemp gummies to here.)
Can You Bring Edibles on a Plane?
As we mentioned, marijuana isn’t federally legal, and anytime you go to the airport, you’re stepping into federal territory. What does that mean for marijuana edibles? It means you’re best off leaving them at home, or at least eating them before you arrive at the airport (just make sure you know you can handle it. The last thing you want to do is sleep through your boarding process or sit patiently at the wrong gate). Even if you’re flying from one legalized state to another, the airport goes by its own rules (federal rules, to be exact), and those rules don’t play nice with cannabis.
Some good news! Edibles that fall within federal laws (less than 0.3% THC by dry weight), however, are okay for you to hit the skies with. Meaning for those traveling with hemp-derived THC gummies, you should be in the clear (of course, always make sure to consult the packaging to ensure you’re within the parameters set by federal law). However, if you are traveling to a state that has banned hemp-derived THC, or taking an international flight, you definitely want to leave these behind as well.
Note that even with edibles that fall within federally legal parameters, there’s still a chance you get stopped or slowed down by TSA, as the products could initially get flagged until it can be confirmed they are compliant — which might be after you miss your flight.
Can You Travel With Edibles?
Okay, what about driving from one legal state to another with marijuana edibles? Due to the federal status of marijuana, crossing state lines with marijuana products is illegal and can result in punishment under federal law. The federal government is particularly concerned about commerce that involves multiple states. This means that interstate travel with cannabis is more likely to result in federal penalties than possession or use within a state, even though both are, technically, federally illegal. On the bright side, when you arrive in another legalized state, you shouldn’t have trouble finding your favorite edibles like Camino gummies.
Just like flying, hemp products that are federally legal are totally fine to throw in the car with you, but again, only if they are also legal in every state you drive through!
