How is LDE Legal?
Legal Status of Lotus Dragon Exotics
Federal Compliance
Under the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018 (commonly known as the Farm Bill), hemp was removed from the government’s list of controlled substances. Hemp is defined as cannabis containing less than 0.3% Delta-9 THC by dry weight, which legally distinguishes it from marijuana. Lotus Dragon Exotics strictly adheres to these regulations, ensuring all our products are federally legal and can be shipped to most U.S. states.
How We Ensure Legal Compliance
Meeting Regulatory Standards
At Lotus Dragon Exotics, we go beyond meeting the basic Delta-9 THC content limitations. The Farm Bill includes stringent regulations on hemp cultivation, which mandate that licensed growers comply with state, tribal, or federal law. We perform rigorous testing and monitoring of our cannabis products to ensure they meet these regulatory standards.
Shipping Nationwide
While hemp-derived products are federally legal, state laws can vary significantly. Some states have more relaxed regulations, while others may impose additional restrictions or bans on certain cannabis products. We stay updated on these laws and adapt our practices to comply with state-specific regulations, ensuring smooth delivery to our customers across the country.
Our Hemp-Derived Products
Using Hemp-Derived Cannabis
Most of our flowers, pre-rolls, and vapes use hemp-derived THCa. THCa is a non-psychoactive compound found in cannabis that, when heated, converts to Delta-9 THC, producing a psychoactive high. THCa is included in compliance testing for hemp farmers, and we ensure our suppliers pass all required tests. We adhere strictly to the standard that harvested hemp contains no more than 0.3% Delta-9 THC.
For products that aren’t heated during use, such as our edibles, gummies, and some concentrates, we utilize hemp-derived Delta-8 THC and/or Delta-9 THC. Delta-9 THC provides the classic high associated with marijuana, while Delta-8 THC offers a milder, more clear-headed high. All our products contain no more than 0.3% Delta-9 THC, ensuring they comply with the Farm Bill.
Ethical Sourcing
All our cannabis is sourced from small American hemp farms. Our growers refrain from using pesticides and bring decades of experience in cultivating cannabis plants. Producing consistently high-quality hemp demands skill, scientific knowledge, patience, and a great deal of care. Our growers have developed proprietary varieties over the years, and you can experience the difference in the quality of our products.
