Yes, THCA is legal in Wyoming under state law, provided it is derived from hemp containing no more than 0.3% delta-9 THC by dry weight. The Wyoming Department of Agriculture enforces compliance with the 2018 Farm Bill and state hemp regulations, though local law enforcement has historically scrutinized products with psychoactive potential. Wyoming’s 2026 legislative session may introduce stricter testing protocols for THCA-rich products, aligning with emerging federal guidance.
Key Regulations for THCA in Wyoming
- Hemp-Derived Status: THCA remains legal only if sourced from hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) with a delta-9 THC concentration ≤0.3% post-decarboxylation, per Wyo. Stat. § 35-7-1001 et seq. Products exceeding this threshold are classified as controlled substances.
- Testing and Labeling: The Wyoming Department of Agriculture mandates third-party lab testing for THCA content, with results submitted to the state’s Hemp Program. Labels must explicitly state THCA concentration and hemp origin to avoid misclassification as marijuana.
- Retail Restrictions: Local jurisdictions, such as Laramie and Cheyenne, may impose additional permitting requirements for THCA sales. Businesses must verify compliance with municipal ordinances, including zoning and age verification (21+ for retail).
