Wyoming hemp laws: quick overview

Wyoming defines “hemp” in W.S. 11‑51‑101(iii) (enacted via 2019 House Bill 171, Chapter 173, effective 2019) as Cannabis sativa L. and derivatives with THC ≤ 0.3% on a dry weight basis using post‑decarboxylation or similar reliable testing methods ([wyoleg.gov](https://wyoleg.gov/2019/SessionLaws.pdf?utm_source=openai)). Licensees must not produce, process, or sell hemp exceeding that threshold, nor include synthetic substances ([wyoleg.gov](https://wyoleg.gov/NXT/gateway.dll/2024%20Wyoming%20Statutes/2024%20Titles/554/643?f=templates&fn=document-frameset.htm&q=&up=1&uq=&vid=Publish%3A10.1048%2FEnu&x=&utm_source=openai)). In 2024, Senate File 32 (SF 32), signed March 7, 2024 and effective July 1, 2024, expanded the restriction to total THC (not just delta‑9), banning any hemp product over 0.3% total THC and prohibiting delta‑8 THC (natural or synthetic) and synthetic cannabinoids ([cannabiswyoming.org](https://cannabiswyoming.org/hemp/sf-32-10th-circuit?utm_source=openai)). Wyoming’s Administrative Rules Chapter 61 (Rules Pertaining to Hemp) define “Acceptable Hemp THC Level” as total delta‑9 THC plus measurement of uncertainty ≤ 0.3% dry weight, require testing by DEA‑registered, ISO/IEC 17025 accredited “Certified Laboratories,” and allow remediation of “hot” hemp under rules amended effective May 23, 2024 ([ams.usda.gov](https://www.ams.usda.gov/sites/default/files/media/WyomingDeptofAgHempPlan.pdf?utm_source=openai)).

Shipping guidance

Inbound shipments of hemp products are allowed provided they comply with Wyoming’s hemp definition (≤ 0.3% total THC, no delta‑8 or synthetic cannabinoids). Age verification is not specified in statute. Retailer registration/licensing is required only for producers/processors; no separate retailer license is mandated for sales to consumers.

Testing & COA guidance

Testing must be conducted by a Certified Laboratory (DEA‑registered and ISO/IEC 17025 accredited) as defined in Chapter 61 rules ([ams.usda.gov](https://www.ams.usda.gov/sites/default/files/media/WyomingDeptofAgHempPlan.pdf?utm_source=openai)). Licensees must sample every batch and obtain an Official Test Result; products exceeding the Acceptable Hemp THC Level must be remediated or destroyed ([law.cornell.edu](https://www.law.cornell.edu/regulations/wyoming/010-61-Wyo-Code-R-SS-61-9?utm_source=openai)). COA retention and specific panels beyond THC are not detailed in available rules.

What to buy

Products compliant with Wyoming law include hemp-derived goods with total THC ≤ 0.3% dry weight, excluding delta‑8 THC or synthetic cannabinoids. Acceptable forms include CBD oils, tinctures, topicals, edibles, and non‑intoxicating hemp derivatives that meet the THC threshold.

What to avoid

Avoid any products containing delta‑8 THC (natural or synthetic), synthetic cannabinoids, or total THC exceeding 0.3% dry weight. Smokable hemp flower is not separately banned but must comply with THC limits; high‑THCA flower that converts to THC may exceed total THC limit and thus is prohibited.

How to shop compliant, tested hemp

• Delta‑9 THC must not exceed 0.3% dry weight (post‑decarboxylation) per W.S. 11‑51‑101 et seq.
• Total THC (including delta‑9 + THCA) must not exceed 0.3% dry weight under SF 32 (effective July 1, 2024).
• Delta‑8 THC and synthetic cannabinoids are banned under SF 32.
• All hemp testing must be done by DEA‑registered, ISO/IEC 17025 accredited labs (“Certified Laboratory”).
• License required to produce or process hemp; must comply with sampling, testing, remediation rules.
• Remediation allowed for “hot” hemp per WDA rules (Chapter 61 amendments effective May 23, 2024).
