Great news, Delta 8 THC is legal in Florida. When the 2018 Farm Bill passed, it legalized at the federal level purchasing hemp-derived Delta 8 THC products. Currently, on September 22, 2021, Delta 8 is federally legal. If you purchase Delta 8 THC in Florida and plan on traveling out of state with it, be aware of the states that have legalized Delta 8.
