Pennsylvania never enacted a hemp consumer-products law. The only hemp definition in its statutes, 3 Pa.C.S. 702, is delta-9 based but prefaced 'when used in this chapter' and belongs to the research-cultivation chapter that 3 Pa.C.S. 710 sunsets; the Controlled Plant and Noxious Weed Act definitions at 1502 contain no hemp entry, while 1512(b) and 1515(c) require a permit to retail, hold or display a controlled plant, and 35 P.S. 780-102's controlled-substance definitions are the operative backdrop. There is no clear statutory answer for retail; this row rests on that absence and suppresses nothing.

Pennsylvania has read and there is nothing to find: no statute defines hemp for consumer products. 3 Pa.C.S. 702 is scoped to a research chapter that 710 sunsets, and 1502 has no hemp entry. This row rests on an absence, which no amount of further reading resolves.

Separately, the federal hemp definition changes on November 12, 2026, when total THC replaces delta-9 as the test and finished products are capped at 0.4 mg of total THC per container. That applies nationwide regardless of state law.
