What the record says

Same analysis as edible; beverages are a common target of AG enforcement letters statewide. Nebraska is a textbook AG-interpretive-reach state: the statute itself (28-401/2-503) draws a clean line at 0.3% delta-9 THC dry weight and explicitly excludes compliant hemp from the marijuana/controlled-substance definitions. There is no scheduling of delta-9 THC as such and no named legislative ban. The restriction comes entirely from Attorney General Hilgers' active, well-funded enforcement campaign (200+ cease-and-desist letters, 15+ lawsuits since 2023) built on the theory that lab testing of many finished hemp products shows delta-9 THC above 0.3%, making them marijuana in fact regardless of hemp labeling, combined with Consumer Protection Act and Pure Food Act theories. This is interpretive/enforcement exposure layered on top of a facially permissive statute, not a scheduling-based ban -- exposure should be read as high and interpretive, not as a hard prohibition.

Controlling language, verbatim

Hemp means the plant Cannabis sativa L. and any part of such plant, including the viable seeds of such plant and all derivatives, extracts, cannabinoids, isomers, acids, salts, and salts of isomers, whether growing or not, with a delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol concentration of not more than 0.3 percent on a dry weight basis.
