Summary
Alaska prohibits the sale of hemp-derived intoxicants, including synthetic THC products such as Delta-8 and Delta-10 THC, outside of the state’s regulated marijuana framework. These products are available exclusively through licensed cannabis dispensaries, ensuring they meet the same regulatory standards as cannabis products within Alaska’s marijuana program.

Classification and Legal Status
Alaska explicitly prohibits synthetic THC products, such as Delta-8 and Delta-10 THC, from being sold outside of its regulated marijuana framework. These products must be distributed through licensed dispensaries, where they are subject to the same oversight and consumer protections as other cannabis products.

THC Potency Limits and Public Health Measures
Synthetic THC products sold through dispensaries must comply with the THC potency limits and public health protocols required for cannabis products, including child-resistant packaging and standardized labeling.

Advertising, Marketing, and Taxation
Alaska enforces strict advertising restrictions on synthetic THC products. All marketing must adhere to the state’s cannabis advertising laws, which include limitations to minimize appeal to minors. Additionally, synthetic THC products sold through licensed dispensaries are subject to the state’s cannabis excise tax.

Zoning and Local Authority
Alaska grants local jurisdictions the authority to impose zoning restrictions for dispensaries selling synthetic THC products, similar to zoning rules for other cannabis products. This allows municipalities to regulate where these products may be sold.
