The law today

Wyoming licenses hemp producers and processors through the Department of Agriculture ($750 application fee) and has no license, registration, age limit or per-serving THC cap for selling finished hemp/CBD products at retail or online. Since SF0032 took effect on 2024-07-01, 'hemp' in Wyoming must contain no synthetic substance and no more than 0.3% total THC (defined to include psychoactive THC analogs and isomers), so delta-8, THC-O, HHC and other converted or synthetic cannabinoid products, and THCa flower over 0.3% total THC, are not lawful hemp and are treated as controlled substances; adding synthetic substances to hemp products is prohibited and violations can permanently disqualify a licensee.

Wyoming has no medical or adult-use cannabis program, so intoxicating products have no legal channel in the state.

Research notes
WDA's hemp page does not publish current fee amounts; the $750 figure comes from the WDA license application/State Hemp Plan documents on the same site. The Title 11 statute link is a large compressed PDF of the whole title (W.S. 11-51 is the hemp chapter); WDA Hemp Rules Chapter 61 are reachable via the WDA rules page / rules.wyo.gov. No 2025–2026 Wyoming legislative changes to hemp were found.
Good Hemp Distro market notes
Hemp-derived delta-9 edibles/beverages at or under 0.3% total THC (all isomers) remain sold in-store and online; synthetic cannabinoids including delta-8, HHC and THC-O banned (10th Circuit upheld SF 32, 2025-10-27). No state purchase-age statute (GHD gates 21+). (Recreational (21+) state dataset, version 2026-09-28)
