Is CBD and Florida Hemp Flower Legal?


Hey Floridians, wondering about the CBD laws in your fine state? We got you. Let’s dive into the legality surrounding CBD and hemp flower in good ole “Flawida”. Florida hemp flower smokers will appreciate this one.


CBD and hemp are legal to both cultivate and consume for anyone over the age of 18.


A legalization proposal (SB 710/HB 343) has been introduced in 2021. The legislation will allow adults 21 and older to possess up to 2.5 ounces of smokable cannabis if purchased from a licensed retailer. 


The plan would also eliminate the state’s vertical integration requirement that applies to medical cannabis businesses and allow people with past convictions for certain low-level cannabis crimes to petition the court for expungement.


In addition to the federal hemp laws laid out in the 2018 Farm Bill, each state has its own state hemp laws. Before we dive in on Florida Hemp Laws and the legality of CBD in Florida, it is important to understand the different types of hemp and CBD products that these laws may be applied to.
