Florida authorizes hemp cultivation through FDACS and broadly permits hemp extract products, subject to registration, labeling, testing, and food-safety rules. The market is legal but compliance-heavy, especially for consumer-facing products.

THC Limit

0.3% total THC on a dry-weight basis for cultivation, aligned with federal law; separate limits and testing standards apply to hemp extract products.

Licensing

FDACS licenses hemp cultivators and separately regulates hemp extract and food-related businesses. Applicants register sites, follow sampling and testing rules, and meet product labeling and packaging standards where applicable.

Regulatory body: Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services
