Is Delta 9 THC Legal in Florida?

Certain types of Delta 9 THC products are legal in Florida, including all our THC gummies and Delta 9 edibles.

 

Read on for the full scoop on the legality of Delta 9 THC in Florida.

Florida passed Florida state Hemp Bill 1020 in 2019, which authorized the Florida state Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services to administer a state hemp program.

How Is Delta 9 THC Legal?

Under the 2018 Farm Bill, products containing Delta 9 THC are legal on a federal level in the US, provided they meet the following conditions.

  1. The Delta 9 THC is derived from hemp
  2. Products contain 0.3% or less of THC by dry weight

Florida followed up with similar state legislation authorizing the use of Delta 9 THC products that meet Farm Bill criteria.

Let’s get into the details.

The 2018 Farm Bill

The 2018 Farm Bill authorized the widespread production of hemp derived products on a federal level, and removed hemp from the DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration) list of Controlled Substances.

This Bill differentiated the definition of industrial hemp from marijuana, which is cultivated for its high THC content. Federally legal hemp products, according to the Farm Bill, must contain less than 0.3% of THC by dry weight, and the source of THC must be industrial hemp.

Even though hemp is legal on a federal level, each state can determine which hemp-derived products are legal in said state. For example, Delta 8 THC vegan gummies are legal on a federal level but illegal in a number of states.

The 2018 Farm Bill gives states the authority to submit plans to the United States Secretary of Agriculture in order to have primary regulatory control over the production of hemp within their borders. The plans must include procedures for tracking the land on which hemp will be grown, as well as testing, disposal, enforcement, inspection, and certification procedures.

Florida State Bill 1020

Soon after the US Federal government passed the Farm Bill, Governor Ron DeSantis signed the Florida state Bill 1020 in 2019, which legalized industrial hemp in Florida under the same limits and specifications of the Farm Bill. In addition to industry regulations, the bill also established a structure to ensure the purity and compliance of cultivated products for the protection of consumers.

 

In 2019, Florida also amended SB 182 which largely focused on the expanded use of medical cannabis products across the state. In this bill, the Florida state now clarifies that "low-THC cannabis not in a form for smoking" is exempt from use restrictions, even in many public areas.

 

The Florida position on hemp-derived cannabinoids like Delta-8-THC is pretty clear. The Florida state legislation clearly specifies that “hemp-derived cannabinoids” are not controlled substances. There is however, a concentration limit for hemp-derived Delta-9 concentrations—which can only be 0.3% or less on a dry weight basis.

 

CBD and CBG oils are legal in Florida as long as they follow various regulations on what qualifies as a “legal” CBD product in the state of Florida including:

  • The label must include a barcode or QR code linked to third-party batch tests for the specific product
  • CBD products must contain less than 0.08% THC by volume
  • Any CBD products sold in Florida must come from vendors and sellers who are licensed through the state.

 

Medical Marijuana in Florida

 

The term “medical marijuana” refers to using the whole unprocessed marijuana plant or its basic extracts to treat a disease or symptom. Studies show that the marijuana plant contains chemicals that may help treat a range of illnesses or symptoms, and can assist patients suffering from serious medical conditions by alleviating pain and improving their quality of life.

 

While some states have already legalized marijuana for medicinal purposes, the issue is still being hotly debated in many others. As of 2019, a total of 41 states in the US have successfully legislated medical marijuana programs, with 19 states adopting recreational cannabis programs, and 23 states decriminalizing cannabis entirely.

 

Medical use of marijuana was legalized after the passing of Amendment 2 (Florida Medical Marijuana Legalization Initiative) in 2016 and Senate Bill 8A (Medical Use of Marijuana Act) later in 2017.

 

Pursuant to section 381.986(4)(f), Florida Statutes (F.S.), the Medical Marijuana Use Registry was updated on August 29, 2022, to implement Emergency Rule 64ER22-8, Dosing and Supply Limits for Medical Marijuana. This rule determines the daily dose amounts and supply limits for approved routes of administration of marijuana (excluding low-THC cannabis).

 

Section 381.986(4)(f)1., F.S., allows a qualified physician to request an exception to the daily dose amount for their qualified patient by electronically submitting the “Request for Exception” form in the Registry.

 

Patients must contact their qualified physician to inquire about the Request for Exception process. Certifications created before August 29, 2022, will not require a “Request for Exception” form, unless the physician alters the original order(s).

 

In Florida, recreational use of marijuana is still illegal. On July 25, 2022, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer introduced a proposed bill entitled "The Cannabis Administration and Opportunity Act" which seeks to decriminalize marijuana and enable states to create their own cannabis-related laws. The amendment would allow recreational use of marijuana by people 21 or older and could also remove requirements that have made it expensive for smaller cannabis entrepreneurs to operate.

 

Section 581.217, Florida Statutes, is created to read:

581.217 State hemp program

 

(1) CREATION AND PURPOSE.-The state hemp program is created within the department to regulate the cultivation of hemp in the state. This section constitutes the state plan for the regulation of the cultivation of hemp for purposes of 7 U.S.C. 41 s. 1639p.

The term does not include hemp as defined in s. 581.217 or industrial hemp as defined in s. 1004.4473.

What is Delta 9 THC?

Delta 9 tetrahydrocannabinol (also known as Delta 9 THC or Δ-9-THC) is one of the many forms of THC found in hemp and marijuana plants. Tetrahydrocannabinols (THC compounds) are among the 113 cannabinoids recognized in cannabis.


Delta 9 THC is found in both hemp and marijuana plants. THC in hemp has been a controversial topic in recent years. Hemp plants contain very low levels of Delta 9 THC, but because of their close relationship to marijuana plants, they are often confused with them. This misunderstanding has led to a great deal of confusion and debate surrounding the legal status of hemp products.

All THC compounds produce psychoactive effects and make you feel high at a sufficient dosage, with Delta 9 THC providing the strongest effects. Our products contain THC microdoses
: enough for you to experience the many benefits of THC without experiencing unwanted psychoactive effects.

  • euphoria

  • an increase in appetite
  • perception changes

 

Delta 9 vs Delta 8

Delta 8 and Delta 9 THC are both cannabinoids that are found in marijuana. While both Delta 8 and Delta 9 THC offer a variety of potential benefits, they each have their own unique effects.

Delta-9 THC is the most well-known type of THC. It is the main psychoactive component in cannabis, and it is responsible for the plant's signature "high." Delta-9 THC as a more potent Delta strain of THC is also known for its medical benefits, which include pain relief, anti-inflammatory effects, and more.

Delta 8 is less potent than Delta 9, making it a good choice for those who are new to cannabis or looking for a more gentle experience.

In terms of medical benefits, both cannabinoids have been shown to be effective at reducing anxiety and pain.

In terms of medical marijuana, Delta 8 THC is sometimes used to treat cancer patients who are undergoing chemotherapy, as it can help to reduce nausea and vomiting. It is also being studied as a potential treatment for Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia. Delta 8 has also been shown to help with nausea and appetite loss, while Delta 9 can improve focus and concentration.

However, more research is needed to confirm the efficacy of Delta 8 THC and Delta 9 in these potential applications.

All cannabinoids and products that derive from hemp, including CBD, Delta 8, and Delta 9 are legal under Florida law, as long as the total THC content of the product does not exceed 0.3%. In 2019, Florida's Hemp Bill SB 1020 made all products that derive from the hemp plant legal in the state.

 

You can buy Delta 8 in Florida online or in-store, but to ensure that the Delta-8 you purchase is legal, you have to ensure that it is made from legal hemp by a licensed grower. You also need to be at least 21 years old to purchase Delta 8 THC products made from hemp.

 

Is Delta-10 legal in Florida?

The legality status of Delta 10 in Florida is subject to change, so it’s important to stay informed and understand the law around industrial hemp and its byproducts if you plan on consuming Delta 10, or any other THC product.

 

Is Delta 9 an indica or sativa?

Delta 9 itself is neither an indica or a sativa, but it can come from either of the two main strain types of the cannabis plant: Cannabis sativa and Cannabis indica. These cannabis plants produce different effects, as indica strains contain more CBD, leading to a more relaxing high. Unlike hemp-derived Delta 9, cannabis-derived Delta 9 THC is not federally legal.

 

Is Delta-9 legal in all states?

In December 2018, the U.S. Congress passed the 2018 Farm Bill, federally legalizing hemp, defined as cannabis (Cannabis sativa L.) and derivatives of cannabis with extremely low concentrations of the psychoactive compound delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) (no more than 0.3 percent THC on a dry weight basis), from the definition of marijuana in the Controlled Substances Act (CSA).

 

These products are now legal in 49 states which essentially follow the Farm Bill when it comes to Delta-9. Idaho is the only state where hemp Delta-9 is explicitly banned.

 

Is Delta 9 federally legal?

The Farm Bill that was passed in 2018 made it legal to grow and sell hemp-derived products that contain 0.3% or less Delta-9 THC by dry weight. This law applies to all states in the US, plus Puerto Rico and D.C.

 

However, some states have additional restrictions on Delta-9 THC, and California is the only state with general restrictions on hemp-derived Delta-9 THC. These restrictions involve testing requirements and packaging restrictions.

 

Despite these restrictions, hemp Delta-9 THC products are still legal in 42 states, making them widely available to consumers across the country.

 

Is THC-O legal in Florida?

THC-O is currently legal in Florida. Although it is federally legal, THC-O is not legal in all US states, and many have revoked its legal status in recent years due to its potency. If you consume THC-O in Florida, keep track of any changes to hemp industry laws that may jeopardize its legality status.

 

Can I fly with Delta 9 gummies?

Yes, you can fly to and from 49 US states with hemp-derived Delta 9 gummies that contain less than 0.3% of THC, except Idaho. If you are traveling abroad, the legality status of hemp products in the country you’re traveling to will dictate whether you can fly with Delta 9. Remember, hemp is a controlled substance in many countries, and even fully illegal in some.

 

Does Delta 9 show up on drug tests?

Yes, Delta 9 will show up on a drug test, as will all other forms of THC. If you know you’re going to be drug tested, stop taking products with THC about a month or so before the test, even if the product in question is fully legal.
