Flora shipping policy

Flora Distro does not currently ship to Vermont. We apologize for the inconvenience. This company policy is separate from the legal posture summarized below.

Current state posture

Intoxicating hemp already banned from retail: total-THC standard (0.877 formula, 0.3% ceiling); any product marketed for intoxication = cannabis. Under 7 V.S.A. §868 + CCB Rule 2.17, d8/10/HHC/THCP & THCA flower dispensary-only.

Recent movement

No change in 30d; restriction predates 2026.

Litigation and court posture

None found.

Next date to watch

Federal cap 11/12 mainly harmonizes definition; VT already more restrictive. No separate VT flip pending.

Federal change scheduled for November 12, 2026

State rules are only one layer. Unless Congress changes the enacted provision, Section 781 changes the federal hemp definition to total THC—Delta-9 THC plus 0.877 times THCA—and adds a 0.4 milligram total-THC-per-container cap beginning November 12, 2026. That federal change is separate from the Vermont posture above.
