What the record says

Inhalable/vape cannabinoid products may be UDAF-registered and sold if they meet the 5 mg THC/serving, 150 mg/package caps, mandatory health warnings, and 21+ sale requirement; chemically converted/synthetic intoxicating cannabinoid vapes are excluded from registration under HB 54 (2025) and are therefore not legally sellable. Confirms seed baseline. Utah runs one of the strictest hemp-cannabinoid regimes in this batch: a UDAF registration gate (Sec. 4-41-403/404) layered on top of a 0.3% total-THC dry-weight hemp threshold, a 5mg/serving and 150mg/package cap (rule-based), 21+ sale, and child-appeal restrictions (geometric-shape-only gummies, no cartoon/animal shapes). Smokable hemp flower is reported by consistent secondary sources as excluded from registration and therefore effectively banned regardless of THC content -- this determination should be re-verified against the primary UDAF rule text (R68-26/R66-35) once that PDF/portal can be rendered, since it could not be captured verbatim in this session.

Controlling language, verbatim

The department shall set a fine of not more than $5,000 for a person who sells a cannabinoid product that is not registered by the department

What the record says

Utah Code 4-41-403(1)(a)(iv) restricts what counts as a registrable 'conventional food' cannabinoid product; secondary UDAF/industry guidance indicates non-oil-suspension edibles must be sold as a full discrete serving unit (403(1)(a)(vi)) and that gummies must be a basic geometric shape (child-appeal restriction) -- forms outside gummy/liquid-suspension format face registration difficulty. Where registrable: 5 mg THC/serving, 150 mg/package caps and 21+ apply. Utah runs one of the strictest hemp-cannabinoid regimes in this batch: a UDAF registration gate (Sec. 4-41-403/404) layered on top of a 0.3% total-THC dry-weight hemp threshold, a 5mg/serving and 150mg/package cap (rule-based), 21+ sale, and child-appeal restrictions (geometric-shape-only gummies, no cartoon/animal shapes).

(total ban)
Effectively prohibitive
Secondary legal/industry sources (UDAF-adjacent guidance and HB 54, 2025) consistently state that raw hemp flower is not a registrable cannabinoid product and that smokable hemp flower sale/distribution is prohibited regardless of THC content; Utah's separate medical-cannabis statute (Utah Code 26B-4-201) also prohibits smoking/raw-flower use outside the licensed medical program. Primary UDAF rule text (R68-26/R66-35) could not be rendered in this session to pull the verbatim prohibition, so this is flagged for a follow-up primary-source pull, but the calibration is treated as a named prohibition given consistent, specific sourcing.
