Pursuant to the Agricultural Improvement Act of 2018 (2018 Farm Bill), codified at 7 U.S.C. § 1639o, the term “hemp” is defined as the plant Cannabis sativa L. and any part of that plant, including seeds, derivatives, cannabinoids, isomers, acids, salts, and salts of isomers, whether growing or not, with a Delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol (Delta-9 THC) concentration of not more than 0.3% on a dry weight basis. Under this federal definition, only the Delta-9 THC concentration is relevant for determining hemp status, not tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCa).
All products sold by Hyper Hyve LLC, doing business as Dope Bee Farms, a licensed hemp producer under the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), comply with the 2018 Farm Bill and Wisconsin Statute § 94.55, which adopts the federal definition of hemp and authorizes the production, processing, and sale of hemp containing no more than 0.3% Delta-9 THC on a dry weight basis. Our hemp-derived products, including those containing Delta-9 THC and THCa, are tested by independent third-party laboratories to ensure Delta-9 THC levels remain below the 0.3% threshold, as required by Wis. Admin. Code ATCP § 22.10. Certificates of Analysis (COAs) confirming compliance with pre-harvest and post-harvest testing requirements are available upon request, verifying that our products meet both federal and Wisconsin standards for hemp.
Under the Supremacy Clause, Article VI, Section 2 of the U.S. Constitution, federal law preempts conflicting state laws, ensuring that hemp as defined by 7 U.S.C. § 1639o is removed from the Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. § 802) and is lawful. However, Wisconsin law, per Wis. Stat. § 961.41(3g)(e), prohibits certain hemp-derived products containing intoxicating cannabinoids, such as Delta-8 THC, unless explicitly authorized. Our products are formulated to comply with these restrictions and are not intended to produce intoxicating effects beyond the permitted Delta-9 THC threshold, as confirmed by our COAs.
While the 2018 Farm Bill establishes the legality of hemp nationwide, consumers are responsible for ensuring compliance with local and state laws in their jurisdiction, as some states impose additional restrictions on hemp-derived products. The Full Faith and Credit Clause, Article IV, Section 1, and the Equal Protection Clause, Section 1 of the Fourteenth Amendment, support the consistent application of federal hemp laws, but Hyper Hyve LLC d.b.a. Dope Bee Farms makes no representations regarding the legality of our products outside Wisconsin. Due to the dynamic nature of hemp regulations, particularly for THCa, we strongly recommend consulting legal counsel or local authorities before purchasing or using our products in other jurisdictions.
Our products are intended for use by adults aged 21 and older. Keep out of reach of children and pets. Consult a healthcare professional before using hemp-derived products, especially if pregnant, nursing, or managing a medical condition. Hyper Hyve LLC d.b.a. Dope Bee Farms is not liable for any adverse effects resulting from product use. By purchasing from this website, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to this disclaimer.
