Wyoming hemp laws: quick overview

Wyoming law defines hemp under W.S. 11‑51‑101 (2024 statutes) as cannabis sativa L. and derivatives containing no synthetic substances and no more than three‑tenths of one percent (0.3%) THC on a dry weight basis, using post‑decarboxylation or similar testing methods; this became effective with the enactment of Senate File 0032 (SEA 0024), effective July 1 2024 ([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)). The same statute expands the definition of “THC” to include delta‑9 THC, psychoactive analogs, structural, optical or geometric isomers, and synthetic substances, thereby excluding delta‑8, delta‑10, HHC, and similar cannabinoids from the legal hemp definition ([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)). SF 0032 (Enrolled Act 0024) prohibits the production, processing, or sale of hemp products containing more than 0.3% THC or any psychoactive analogs or isomers, and classifies delta‑8 THC as a Schedule I controlled substance; violations are misdemeanors and license‑ineligible ([wyoleg.gov](https://www.wyoleg.gov/2024/Summaries/SF0032.pdf?utm_source=openai)). Wyoming’s hemp program is overseen by the Department of Agriculture under a USDA‑approved plan (approved February 2020), and licensing is required for production or processing under W.S. 11‑51‑103 ([legalclarity.org](https://legalclarity.org/wyoming-hemp-laws-licensing-delta-8-and-penalties/?utm_source=openai)).

Shipping guidance

Inbound shipments of hemp products are allowed only if they comply with Wyoming’s hemp definition (≤ 0.3% Δ9 THC, no synthetic or psychoactive isomers). Consumable hemp products containing psychoactive cannabinoids (e.g., delta‑8) are banned and cannot be shipped into the state. No state‑specific age verification or retailer registration rules beyond licensing for producers/processors are currently in effect.

Testing & COA guidance

Wyoming Administrative Code Chapter 61, Section 61‑9 requires licensed hemp processors to submit random batch samples to a certified laboratory; products must not exceed the Acceptable Hemp THC Level (≤ 0.3% Δ9 THC with measurement of uncertainty) ([regulations.justia.com](https://regulations.justia.com/states/wyoming/agency-010/sub-agency-0005/chapter-61/section-61-9/?utm_source=openai)). Certified labs must issue Official Test Results; licensees must retain records and COAs for at least three years per Department rules ([wyoleg.gov](https://wyoleg.gov/arules/2012/rules/ARR24-003.pdf?utm_source=openai)). No explicit ISO 17025 requirement is stated in state rules; labs must be “certified” by the Department.

What to buy

Products that comply with hemp definition: non‑psychoactive hemp flower, extracts, oils, topicals, edibles containing ≤ 0.3% Δ9 THC (dry weight), with no synthetic cannabinoids or psychoactive isomers.

What to avoid

Avoid any products containing delta‑8 THC, delta‑10 THC, HHC, THC‑O, THCP, or other psychoactive isomers or synthetic cannabinoids—these are banned under SF 0032. Also avoid products exceeding 0.3% Δ9 THC (dry weight).

How to shop compliant, tested hemp

• Wyoming defines hemp as cannabis with ≤ 0.3% THC (dry weight) and no synthetic substances (W.S. 11‑51‑101) effective July 1 2024.
• Delta‑8 THC and other psychoactive isomers are Schedule I and banned under SF 0032 (SEA 0024), effective July 1 2024.
• Licensed hemp products must be tested by a certified lab and not exceed the Acceptable Hemp THC Level (≤ 0.3% Δ9 THC with measurement of uncertainty).
• License required to produce or process hemp (W.S. 11‑51‑103).
• Department of Agriculture rules require record‑keeping for three years and COA retention.
• No explicit per‑serving or per‑container THC mg limits beyond federal baseline; state follows 0.3% dry‑weight only.
