Federal law is changing on November 12, 2026. The FY2026 Agriculture Appropriations Act amends the federal hemp definition (7 U.S.C. § 1639o) to measure Total THC across all isomers and cap finished consumable hemp products at 0.4 mg total THC per container. Synthetic cannabinoids will not be permitted under the new federal hemp definition. The federal sunset applies nationwide; Florida will be affected like every other state.
