concentration cap

Limit

10 mg total THC per package (mg per container)

What the record says

Legal under the dual-cap/registration/21+ framework; 641 IAC 156.1 additionally requires liquid consumable hemp products be packaged in a container holding a minimum of 12 fluid ounces. Iowa’s HF2605 (2024) framework is confirmed as seeded: inhalation (vape and smokable flower) is criminally prohibited outright (serious misdemeanor), while ingestible/topical 'consumable hemp product' forms are permitted subject to a dual cap (the lesser of 0.3% dry weight or 4mg/serving and 10mg/container), mandatory Iowa HHS registration for manufacturers and retailers, and a 21+ purchase/possession age floor. Iowa deliberately uses 'registration' rather than 'licensing' as the operative statutory term (Iowa Code 204.7), though it is functionally a mandatory pre-authorization to sell. A pending 2026 bill (HSB 279) has not been enacted and does not change current law.

Controlling language, verbatim

A person shall not possess, use, manufacture, market, transport, deliver, or distribute harvested hemp or a hemp product if the intended use of the harvested hemp or hemp product is introduction into the body of a human by any method of inhalation.
