Florida, USA hemp laws: quick overview

Florida Statute § 581.217 (State Hemp Program), as amended most recently by Chapter 2023‑299, defines “hemp” as Cannabis sativa L. and all derivatives with total Δ9‑THC ≤ 0.3 % dry‑weight, and “hemp extract” with the same Δ9‑THC limit on a wet‑weight basis; effective dates include initial enactment via ch. 2019‑132 and amendments through ch. 2023‑299 ([flsenate.gov](https://www.flsenate.gov/Laws/Statutes/2025/0581.217?utm_source=openai)). The statute establishes licensing requirements for cultivation, including fingerprinting, GPS land registry, and denial for felony convictions within 10 years ([flsenate.gov](https://www.flsenate.gov/Laws/Statutes/2025/0581.217?utm_source=openai)). Distribution and retail sale of hemp extract require a certificate of analysis from an independent ISO/IEC 17025‑accredited lab, packaging not attractive to children, compliance with Poison Prevention Packaging Act, and age‑21 minimum for ingestible/inhalable products ([flsenate.gov](https://www.flsenate.gov/Laws/Statutes/2025/0581.217?utm_source=openai)).

Shipping guidance

Florida allows inbound shipments of hemp extract and products that comply with state definitions (Δ9‑THC ≤ 0.3 % dry‑weight or wet‑weight for extracts). Age verification (21+) is required for ingestible/inhalable hemp extract. Retailers must be properly permitted under § 581.217; mail‑order or internet sales must comply with FDACS rules (HB 7027 attempted but died in 2025) ([flsenate.gov](https://flsenate.gov/Session/Bill/2025/7027?utm_source=openai)).

Testing & COA guidance

Florida requires independent testing laboratories to be accredited under ISO/IEC 17025 (F.S. § 581.217(3)(g)). Hemp extract must have a COA showing Δ9‑THC ≤ 0.3 % and absence of unsafe contaminants. Labs must be on FDACS approved list ([flsenate.gov](https://www.flsenate.gov/Laws/Statutes/2025/0581.217?utm_source=openai)). COAs must accompany batches; retention rules not specified in statute.

What to buy

State‑legal products include hemp flower, extracts, edibles, inhalables, topicals, and other derivatives, provided Δ9‑THC ≤ 0.3 % (dry‑weight or wet‑weight for extracts), properly tested, packaged, and age‑restricted.

What to avoid

Avoid products exceeding Δ9‑THC limits, lacking ISO/IEC 17025 COA, attractive to children, or sold to under‑21. The law does not explicitly ban delta‑8, delta‑10, THCa, HHC, etc., so status is “legal” under current law but may change; smokable hemp is not separately banned.

How to shop compliant, tested hemp

  • Δ9‑THC ≤ 0.3 % dry‑weight; hemp extract ≤ 0.3 % Δ9‑THC wet‑weight (F.S. § 581.217)
  • Cultivation requires FDACS license with fingerprinting and land GPS (F.S. § 581.217)
  • Hemp extract must have COA from ISO/IEC 17025 lab and not be attractive to children
  • Sale of ingestible/inhalable hemp extract restricted to age 21+
  • Independent testing labs must be ISO/IEC 17025 accredited (F.S. § 581.217)
  • Products must comply with Poison Prevention Packaging Act and FDACS rules
