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.
