Quick answer: No for THCA flower. Virginia uses a total-THC standard that counts THCA, and from August 15, 2026, hemp products can hold no more than 2 mg of total THC per package. A federal appeals court upheld Virginia’s total-THC law. Federal law will also count THCA from December 11, 2026.
Here is where THCA stands in Virginia as of November 2026, including the federal change that takes effect on December 11, 2026.

Virginia THCA Law as of November 2026
Virginia measures total THC, usually calculated as delta-9 THC + (0.877 x THCA). Hemp products must stay at or under 0.3% total THC.
From August 15, 2026, a hemp product with more than 2 mg of total THC per package cannot be made or sold in Virginia. THCA flower is far over both limits.

Federal Change
Separately, federal law changes on December 11, 2026. From that date, federal law counts THCA toward the 0.3% THC limit and caps finished products at 0.4 mg of total THC per container. Most THCA flower will no longer count as hemp under federal law. Read The 2026 Hemp Ban for details.

How to Check a COA
A Certificate of Analysis (COA) is the lab report for a product batch. It shows how much of each cannabinoid is in the product.
- Delta-9 THC: the percentage of delta-9 THC by dry weight.
- THCA: the percentage of THCA.
- Total THC: usually delta-9 THC + (0.877 x THCA).
- Batch number: should match the product you buy.
Every HIGH THCA product is lab tested and has a COA. See them on our Certificate of Analysis page.
