Yes—but only in specific forms.
In Alabama, HHC (hexahydrocannabinol) is regulated, not fully illegal. State law bans smokable tetrahydrocannabinols, including HHC, but allows non-smokable hemp-derived products such as edibles, tinctures, oils, and gummies—provided they meet federal hemp requirements.
This makes Alabama a format-restricted state, not a blanket ban state.
How Alabama Regulates HHC
Alabama law distinguishes cannabinoids by method of consumption.
❌ Prohibited (Smokable Forms)
- HHC vape cartridges & disposables
- HHC flower or pre-rolls
- Any inhalable HHC product
These are banned under Alabama’s prohibition on smokable THC products, regardless of hemp origin.
✔ Allowed (Non-Smokable Forms)
- HHC gummies
- HHC edibles
- HHC oils & tinctures
- HHC capsules
These products are permitted if derived from hemp and Delta-9 THC ≤ 0.3%.
Why Alabama Uses a Format-Based Rule
Alabama regulators aim to:
- Prevent inhalable THC products
- Reduce youth access via vaping
- Limit public-health risks tied to smoking
- Allow controlled hemp consumables
Instead of banning all THC variants, Alabama restricts the delivery method, not the cannabinoid name.
