Wyoming Hemp & Hemp‑Derived Cannabinoid Laws

Wyoming hemp laws: quick overview

Wyoming’s hemp law aligns with the 2018 Farm Bill’s Δ9‑THC ≤0.3% dry‑weight standard, codified via House Bill 171 (2019) and W.S. § 11‑51‑101 et seq., removing hemp from controlled substances and authorizing hemp products under that threshold ([legalclarity.org](https://legalclarity.org/is-cbd-legal-in-wyoming-state-laws-explained/?utm_source=openai)). The Wyoming Department of Agriculture’s hemp plan was approved by USDA on February 20, 2020, and final rules were promulgated effective August 13, 2020 ([agriculture.wy.gov](https://agriculture.wy.gov/hemp-program?utm_source=openai)). In 2024, Senate File 32 (effective July 1, 2024) prohibited the addition of synthetic substances and psychoactive analogs or isomers of THC—including Δ8‑THC—and classified them as Schedule I under state law; violations result in misdemeanor penalties and license ineligibility ([wyoleg.gov](https://www.wyoleg.gov/2024/Summaries/SF0032.pdf?utm_source=openai)). Wyoming Administrative Code Chapter 61‑2 defines “Acceptable Hemp THC Level” as total Δ9‑THC on a dry‑weight basis, including measurement uncertainty, not exceeding 0.3% ([regulations.justia.com](https://regulations.justia.com/states/wyoming/agency-010/sub-agency-0005/chapter-61/section-61-2/?utm_source=openai)). Chapter 61‑9 (amended May 23, 2024) requires licensed processors to have every batch tested by a DEA‑certified, ISO/IEC 17025‑accredited lab and prohibits distribution unless THC is within acceptable limits ([law.cornell.edu](https://www.law.cornell.edu/regulations/wyoming/010-61-Wyo-Code-R-SS-61-9?utm_source=openai)). In 2025, House Bill 198 introduced a carve‑out allowing Δ8‑THC only in beverage form; all other Δ8 formats (flower, gummies, vapes, tinctures) remain banned ([cannabisregulations.ai](https://www.cannabisregulations.ai/cannabis-and-hemp-regulations-compliance-ai-blog/wyoming-thca-delta-8-2026?utm_source=openai)).

Shipping guidance

Inbound shipments of federally compliant hemp products (Δ9‑THC ≤0.3%) are allowed. Retailers and operators must hold a valid Wyoming hemp license. Age verification is required for products containing any THC; Δ8 products (non‑beverage) are banned and cannot be shipped. Δ8 beverages may be shipped only to licensed retailers and must comply with labeling and COA requirements.

Testing & COA guidance

Wyoming requires testing by DEA‑certified, ISO/IEC 17025‑accredited laboratories (Wyo. Code R. 61‑2) for every batch; COAs (“Official Test Result”) must confirm Δ9‑THC is within the Acceptable Hemp THC Level (≤0.3% including uncertainty) ([regulations.justia.com](https://regulations.justia.com/states/wyoming/agency-010/sub-agency-0005/chapter-61/section-61-2/?utm_source=openai)). Processors must retain testing records and distribution logs for at least three years ([nasda.org](https://www.nasda.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/hemp_regulations_wyoming.pdf?utm_source=openai)).

What to buy

Federally compliant hemp products (Δ9‑THC ≤0.3% dry‑weight) including CBD, hemp flower, tinctures, topicals, edibles (non‑Δ8), and Δ8‑THC beverages (per HB 198 exception) are legal.

What to avoid

Avoid Δ8‑THC in flower, gummies, vapes, tinctures—these formats are banned under SF 32 (2024) and HB 198 (2025). Synthetic cannabinoids and psychoactive THC isomers beyond Δ9 are prohibited. Marijuana (>0.3% Δ9‑THC) remains illegal.
