Can You Still Order THC Drinks Online? Current Shipping Rules

Last Updated: 10/27/2026

The short answer is yes, for now. Until December 11, hemp-derived THC drinks that meet the federal definition of hemp can still be ordered online and shipped across state lines, as long as the state they're headed to allows it. On December 11, that changes for drinks like Bimble.

If you've been wondering why some brands ship to your door while others don't, or what "interstate commerce" has to do with a can of seltzer, here's how the rules fit together today and what to expect over the next few weeks.

Why Can THC Drinks Be Shipped at All?

It comes down to one word: hemp.

The 2018 Farm Bill separated hemp from marijuana under federal law and protected the transport of lawfully produced hemp across state lines. States kept the power to regulate, or ban, hemp products sold within their borders. That combination is what made it possible for a small company like ours to sell a hemp-derived THC drink online and ship it to customers in many parts of the country.

Marijuana is a different story. Even in states with legal adult-use cannabis, marijuana products generally can't be shipped across state lines, which is why you buy them in person at a licensed dispensary.

What Shipping Rules Apply Right Now?

Think of it as three layers, and an order has to clear all three.

Federal law decides whether a product counts as hemp in the first place. Today, a THC drink made from compliant hemp can qualify.

Shipping carriers set their own rules on top of that. For example, the U.S. Postal Service allows hemp products to be mailed domestically only when the mailer complies with all applicable federal, state, and local laws and keeps records, such as lab results, on file. Private carriers have their own policies, and they can be stricter.

State and local law decides whether a product can be sold, and shipped, to an address in that state. This is where the map gets complicated.

Does My State Allow THC Drinks to Be Shipped?

It depends on where you live, and the answer has been changing quickly.

Some states ban intoxicating hemp products outright. Others allow hemp-derived THC drinks but only through licensed, in-person retail, much like alcohol. A few examples: New Jersey prohibits online sales of hemp beverages, and California's emergency rules bar intoxicating hemp products. Alabama and Tennessee have moved hemp drinks into alcohol-style licensing systems that don't allow direct-to-consumer online sales.

Bimble only ships to states where we're permitted to. Orders from states that we cannot ship to will be blocked at checkout.

Even if we can ship to your state, local rules can add their own limits, and they change often. It's worth a quick check of your state's current rules, usually through its agriculture department, alcohol board, or cannabis regulator.

What Changes on December 11?

On December 11, the federal definition of hemp changes. A finished product with more than 0.4mg of total THC per container will no longer count as hemp under federal law. Every Bimble, at 1mg, 5mg, and 10mg, is above that line.

For shipping, that's the change that matters most. Once a product falls outside the hemp definition, it loses the federal protections that allow it to move across state lines. Carriers that accept hemp only when it complies with federal law won't be able to carry it.

That's also why timing matters. A package that's still on a truck on December 11 is a package we don't want in transit. So every Bimble order needs to be placed and shipped before December 11. Our last day to order is going to be around December 9th or 10th, which gives us time to get every order out the door before the deadline.

How Ordering Bimble Works Between Now and Then

Not much changes about ordering itself. You must be 21 or older to buy, and we verify age at checkout. Orders ship to eligible states only.

The one thing we'd suggest is ordering earlier rather than later. Shipping times stretch around the holidays, and we'd much rather you have your order in hand than wonder whether it made the cutoff.

If you're planning to keep a few cans for the months ahead, be thoughtful about how much you'll reasonably enjoy within the printed freshness dates. Our guide to THC seltzer shelf life covers storage and freshness in detail.

Could Congress Change the Shipping Rules?

Possibly. The Beverage Regulatory Parity Act, a bipartisan bill introduced in August, would keep hemp-derived THC drinks legal under a federal framework modeled on alcohol. According to Marijuana Moment, it would require federal permits for manufacturers, wholesalers, and sellers, and it would let states set stricter rules while barring them from blocking hemp beverages shipped through their borders to other states.

That bill hasn't passed, and no further federal delay has been confirmed. We'll update this page if anything changes. For a wider look at where the hemp drinks category may be heading, check out our guide!

So, Can You Still Order THC Drinks Online?

Yes, for now, and depending on where you live. Until December 11, compliant hemp-derived THC drinks can still be ordered online and shipped to states that allow them. After that, drinks above the new 0.4mg limit, including Bimble, can't be shipped across state lines under federal law.
