Florida — policy snapshot

One place to inspect this jurisdiction’s dated posture observation, cited sources, bills, court records, concrete enforcement, seed-to-sale system, derived action observations, market notes, and current reporting. It is an observation hub—not a substitute for current legal advice.

Recorded posture

OpenIntoxicating hemp (d8, hemp d9, THCA flower, beverages) STILL LEGAL at state level — every ban bill failed (DeSantis vetoed SB1698 6/7/24; 2025 & 2026 sessions adjourned w/o ban). Governed by hemp-extract rules (<0.3% d9, 21+).
