Not Legal
No. Delta-8 THC was legal in Florida during the early part of 2024, but this changed when the Florida Senate passed measure SB 1698, sponsored by Polk County Republican Colleen Burton, which was signed into law by Governor Ron DeSantis. The law, which took effect in July 2024, made the manufacturing, use, and possession of any product containing Delta-8 THC illegal in Florida.
Delta-8 THC is a naturally occurring cannabinoid found in small amounts in the hemp plant. It is chemically similar to Delta-9 THC, the primary psychoactive component of cannabis, but is reported to produce milder psychoactive effects. Because of its potential therapeutic benefits, Delta-8 THC has been used by many for a variety of medical conditions. Users claim that Delta-8 THC is an effective pain reliever that can help reduce inflammation and pain. It has been demonstrated to be useful in lowering nausea and vomiting. Additionally, it has been reported that Delta-8 THC increases appetite.
Before purchasing Delta-8 in Florida, always check the lab test results for each product to ensure accurate labeling and safety.
