Wyoming CBD laws

In 2015, the Wyoming Department of Health implemented a rigorous medical procedure that permitted CBD to be given to those with severe epilepsy. Patients needed to obtain a Hemp Extract Registration Card for $150 that had to be renewed every year. The use of medical CBD oils that contain less than .3 percent THC by weight is legal in Wyoming. Following the passage of House Bill 171, the 2019 House Enrolled Act (HEA) 110, the Hemp Extract Registry closed its doors. Wyoming lawmakers worked on a bill, House Bill 171, that would have matched the federal definition of hemp and CBD derived from it as outlined in the 2018 Farm Bill. The state enacted the measure on March 6, 2019, which was signed by Governor Mark Gordon and became law under his signature formally removing hemp and CBD derived from it from the Wyoming Controlled Substances Act. House Bill 171 also advances the state's marijuana laws in recognition of federal legislation, allowing farmers to once again grow hemp. The Department of Agriculture will have regulatory control over hemp production under the new law. The House approved it 56-3, and it passed the Wyoming Senate with a 26-3 vote. The law also provides a framework for the state to collaborate with tribal governments and pave the way for Native American farmers to start growing hemp. The legislation establishes a research program at the University of Wyoming to develop and learn more about hemp. The state's Department of Agriculture submitted its proposal for hemp rulemaking and oversight to the USDA, but it has not yet been approved.

Where to Buy CBD Products Legally In Wyoming?

Since the state's hemp law was amended in March 2019, more businesses have been selling CBD oil in Wyoming. Health shops, convenience stores, grocery stores, and CBD-specific merchants are among them. Because CBD oil comes from hemp, it is legal and may be purchased online. However, consumers must be confident that the CBD they are purchasing has less than the legal federal limit of THC. In June 2019, the United States Postal Service confirmed that carriers are permitted to lawfully send hemp-derived CBD through the mail. Only three CBD oil retailers in Wyoming have BBB accreditation:
  • Natural Wellness CBD
  • CBD WYO
  • Terra of Wyoming
Meanwhile, other CBD oil retailers in the state with excellent Google user reviews include the following:
  • OHM Man Vape Shop
  • Up N Smoke II
  • Junction Tobacco Shop
Customers may purchase high-quality CBD goods from the distributor's website.

Medical Cannabis in Wyoming

At present, Wyoming is one of the few remaining states that does not have a medical marijuana program. This year, several bills regarding medical marijuana in Wyoming have been filed, but none of them has succeeded. In 2022, the next year of review, more Wyoming medical marijuana bills will almost certainly be considered.

Wyoming CBD possession limits

It was previously a crime to sell, purchase, or possess CBD oil with more than .3% THC in Wyoming under House Bill 171. However, the state appears to have relaxed its penalties for CBD possession as long as it maintains the federal limit of .3 percent THC. Individuals who possess marijuana products that contain more than .3 percent THC are subject to drug possession charges under the Wyoming Controlled Substances Act. Individuals in possession of fewer than .3 grams of liquid concentrate that contains more than.3 percent THC may be charged with a misdemeanor and face up to 12 months imprisonment and a $1,000 fine. Possession of more than .3 grams of concentrated liquid containing greater than three percent THC is a felony with penalties of up to 5 years in prison and a $10,000 fine.
