Yes, CBD oil derived from hemp containing ≤0.3% THC is legal in Wyoming under federal and state law, provided it complies with the 2018 Farm Bill and Wyoming’s 2020 hemp statutes. The Wyoming Department of Agriculture (WDA) oversees licensing, testing, and labeling, while the Wyoming Department of Health enforces retail sale restrictions. Local jurisdictions may impose additional permitting requirements, requiring businesses to verify compliance at the municipal level.
Key Regulations for CBD Oil in Wyoming
- THC Threshold Enforcement: Products must not exceed 0.3% total THC on a dry-weight basis, with WDA-approved testing protocols. Non-compliant products are subject to seizure under W.S. § 26-22-101 et seq.
- Licensing Mandates: Retailers must obtain a WDA-issued hemp product retailer license, renewable annually, with fees capped at $200. Unlicensed sales trigger penalties under W.S. § 26-22-115.
- Labeling and Testing: All CBD products require WDA-approved labels, including batch numbers, THC content, and QR codes linking to third-party lab results. Mislabeling constitutes a Class 2 misdemeanor per W.S. § 26-22-116.
Wyoming’s 2026 compliance framework introduces stricter third-party testing for heavy metals and pesticides, aligning with USDA interim final rules. Businesses must adapt to updated WDA guidance, particularly regarding delta-8 THC isomers, which remain unregulated and may face local bans. Failure to adhere to these provisions risks administrative penalties or criminal liability under Wyoming’s controlled substances statutes.
