Next date to watch
Federal 0.4mg cap 11/12 reclassifies most THCA/intoxicating hemp. No pending pre-Nov-12 ME flip.
Federal change scheduled for November 12, 2026
State rules are only one layer. Unless Congress changes the enacted provision, Section 781 changes the federal hemp definition to total THC—Delta-9 THC plus 0.877 times THCA—and adds a 0.4 milligram total-THC-per-container cap beginning November 12, 2026. That federal change is separate from the Maine posture above.
