It's the first question every new customer asks — usually in a lowered voice: "Wait… is this legal?" Yes. Here's exactly why, in plain English, plus where we can ship and how to verify what's in every can.
The short answer
Highland Falls seltzers and gummies are made with hemp-derived THC and comply with the 2018 Farm Bill, the federal law that legalized hemp and hemp products containing less than 0.3% Delta-9 THC by dry weight. Our products are formulated to that federal standard — which is why we can sell them online and ship them straight to your door, no dispensary card, no medical appointment.
Hemp-derived vs. dispensary THC: what's the difference?
Chemically, Delta-9 THC is Delta-9 THC — the molecule in our 5mg can is the same one in a dispensary product. The difference is legal, not chemical: ours comes from Farm Bill-compliant hemp and stays under the federal concentration threshold, so it's regulated like a hemp product rather than marijuana. A 5mg serving is a real, felt dose — the legal pathway doesn't water anything down.
Where we ship (45 states and counting)
Because our products meet the federal hemp standard, we ship to 45 states — from the Carolinas to Texas to California. A handful of states restrict hemp-derived THC under their own laws, so if your state isn't supported you'll see it at checkout before any payment. Live in North Carolina or Georgia? You'll also find us on shelves and taps at 200+ bars, bottle shops, and stores — check the store locator.
How you can verify what's in the can
Legality runs on trust, and trust runs on testing. Every Highland Falls batch is tested by an independent lab for potency and purity, and the certificate of analysis is linked right on each product page. If a brand can't show you a COA, drink something else.
The rules we follow (and you should too)
- 21+ only. We verify age at purchase.
- Exact doses, labeled. Every can and gummy states its milligrams — no mystery servings. New to dosing? Read what 5mg actually feels like.
- Don't drive after drinking one, and store them away from kids and pets.
