Personal THC consumption was legalized in Connecticut in 2021, ending cannabis prohibition and replacing it with a system to tax and regulate cannabis for adults 21 and over. Following the Agricultural Act of 2018 ("2018 Farm Bill"), which legalized CBD and hemp production nationally by removing hemp and its derivatives (Cannabis sativa-L containing no more than 0.3% THC) from the Controlled Substances Act, Connecticut chose to legalize the production and sale of certain hemp-derived THC and CBD products.

In 2019, Governor Ned Lamont signed the Connecticut Senate Bill 893, or what is colloquially referred to as the “hemp law.” The Connecticut hemp law established one of the most comprehensive regulatory frameworks for hemp and hemp extracts in the country. This Bill relates to the growth of industrial hemp and the regulation of hemp extract and provides for the licensing of cannabinoid related hemp extract and the requirements for such licenses.

The Connecticut Department of Agriculture is authorized under the state plan to issue producer licenses, conduct inspections and investigations, issue penalties, promulgate regulations, issue cease and desist orders, issue hold and destroy orders, and other broad powers that allow the Department to effectively regulate the Connecticut hemp industry.

On July 1, 2021,Senate Bill 1201 passed into law and recreational marijuana became legal in Connecticut, making the use and possession of small amounts of recreational marijuana legal for adults.

As of October 1st, 2021:

• Adults 21 and older are allowed to carry up to 1.5 ounces of marijuana on their person and 5 ounces in a secured container in their house or a locked trunk or glove compartment in their vehicle.
• Individuals will be permitted to cultivate marijuana, but only those with medicinal marijuana cards, aged 18 and above, will be allowed to grow up to six plants starting October 1, 2021. Indoor plants must be cultivated.

Medical Marijuana in Connecticut

The term “medical marijuana” refers to using the whole unprocessed marijuana plant or its basic extracts to treat a disease or symptom. Studies show that the marijuana plant contains chemicals that may help treat a range of illnesses or symptoms, and can assist patients suffering from serious medical conditions by alleviating pain and improving their quality of life.

While some states have already legalized marijuana for medicinal purposes, the issue is still being hotly debated in many others. As of 2019, a total of 41 states in the US have successfully legislated medical marijuana programs, with 19 states adopting recreational cannabis programs, and 23 states decriminalizing cannabis entirely.

Cannabis is legal in Connecticut for all individuals over the age of 21. A person with written certification from a physician may seek registration under this act in order to qualify for the use of medicinal marijuana. Medical cannabis can be bought at state-licensed dispensaries by patients and caregivers who have registered with the Department of Consumer Protection.

Any registered patient over the age of 18 can now cultivate up to three mature and three immature cannabis plants at home, with a total of 12 mature and immature plants allowed per household. Beginning in 2023, the same home grow rules will apply to all people over the age of 21.

Medical marijuana qualifying patients can obtain a medical card which needs to be renewed every two years.

How strong is Delta-9 THC?

The strength of Delta 9 and its effect on a person depends on 2 factors:

1. The dose of Delta 9 taken
2. How accustomed the consumer is to taking Delta 9 THC

Additionally, the following factors also influence how Delta 9 affects the person taking it:

• What is the consumption method? Some THC substances travel through the lungs and become accessible more quickly (like vaping or smoking). Some products must be digested (like edibles, gummies, oils, or capsules). These various forms may influence how long it takes to affect your brain and how powerful Delta 9 will affect you. Some forms of consumption have a quick and intense impact, while others have a longer, constant, and less obvious psychoactive effect.
• What is the quality of the Delta 9 used? Is it pure? Is it saturated with chemicals or other substances? What percentage of Delta 9 THC is consumed? Higher levels have far greater impacts.
• How often is the product used? If you take Delta 9 THC and other cannabinoids on a daily basis, they will remain in your system and influence how responsive you are to new inputs of Delta 9.
