According to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), hemp seeds are not a controlled substance, regardless of the potential THC yield of the plant they came from, as long as the seed itself contains less than 0.3% THC. This clarification is central to answering the question: can you legally buy hemp seeds? The legality primarily hinges on the seed's tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) content, which must be below the legal threshold, and its intended use.

According to the Canadian Centre on Substance Use and Addiction, edible cannabis products are considered items containing cannabinoids that are consumed orally. The classification of these products varies significantly across different jurisdictions and depends heavily on their primary active ingredient, such as tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) or cannabidiol (CBD).
