CBD oil derived from hemp is legal in Delaware, with CBD products available for purchase throughout the state. In addition to hemp-derived CBD products that can be purchased over-the-counter, Delaware has also had a medical marijuana program since 2011 with the passage of the Delaware Medical Marijuana Act<\/a>. Eligible patients can buy CBD oil derived from cannabis, along with cannabis products containing both CBD and THC. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adult-use cannabis remains illegal, although in 2015,House Bill 39 decriminalized the possession and private use of up to one ounce of cannabis<\/a>. In 2019, the bill was expanded to decriminalize juvenile possession of one ounce or less.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\tWhat is CBD?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

CBD is a non-intoxicating cannabinoid<\/a> found in cannabis. After tetrahydrocannabinol (THC)<\/a>, cannabidiol (CBD) is the second-most abundant cannabinoid in the plant, and has many potential therapeutic benefits, including anti-inflammatory, analgesic, anti-anxiety and seizure-suppressant properties. CBD can be sourced from both marijuana plants and hemp plants, which are legal in most countries as they contain minuscule amounts of THC.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t\t
