THCA
Found naturally in hemp flower. Non-psychoactive raw, but converts to THC when smoked/vaped. Safest legal option in Nebraska for those wanting effects.
Delta-8 THC
Typically synthesized from CBD. Psychoactive but milder than Delta-9. AG Hilgers argues it's illegal in Nebraska – risky to purchase.
Delta-9 THC
The main psychoactive compound. Legal in hemp products under 0.3% by weight, allowing for legal gummies with meaningful doses.
Best Choice for Nebraska
For legal THC effects in Nebraska, THCA flower or compliant Delta-9 gummies are the safest options. Avoid Delta-8 due to enforcement risk.
