Legality · CBDCBD in U.S. Virgin Islands (US): not individually verified
Not individually verified
We have not confirmed that CBD specifically is scheduled in U.S. Virgin Islands (US), so this page gives no legal status. Publishing a guess here would be worse than publishing nothing. What we do know is the governing national drug law, below.
- What is on record
- Not confirmed. CBD is not named in any entry of the federal schedules, 21 CFR 1308.11 to 1308.15 as in force on 30 September 2026, the eCFR text read at https://www.ecfr.gov/api/versioner/v1/full/2026-09-30/title-21.xml?part=1308 on 3 October 2026. The marihuana definition at 21 U.S.C. 802(16)(B)(i) excludes 'hemp, as defined in section 1639o of title 7', which is cannabis with 'a delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol concentration of not more than 0.3 percent on a dry weight basis'. Pub. L. 119-37, sec. 781, replaces that definition from 12 November 2026 with one measured by total tetrahydrocannabinols. A CBD product above the limit is marihuana material, and that turns on the product, not on the CBD. The territory's own schedules at 19 V.I.C. sec. 595 could not be read in this run, and the territory can control what the federal schedules do not, so whether it is controlled here is not established.
Confirm directly with U.S. Virgin Islands (US)’s national drug authority or your own embassy before you rely on anything.

Delta-8-THC is controlled federally, subject to a contested hemp carve out. By its own name it is a tetrahydrocannabinol, which is why this cell places it in the class entry while THC-P, whose membership turns on the entry's similar structure clause, is not confirmed. Federal Schedule I under the Controlled Substances Act lists 'Tetrahydrocannabinols' at 21 CFR 1308.11(d)(31), DEA code 7370, a class entry defined by structure, which by (d)(31)(ii) 'does not include any material, compound, mixture, or preparation that falls within the definition of hemp set forth in 7 U.S.C. 1639o'. The territory's own schedules at 19 V.I.C. sec. 595 were not read in this run.
