What the record says

THC beverages are industrial hemp extract products under Sec. 3.2-5145.1: 0.3% total THC cap plus 2mg/package-or-25:1-ratio rule, disclosure, labeling, COA. Virginia's controlling framework is the Sec. 3.2-5145.1 'industrial hemp extract' definition: legal for retail if total THC is <=0.3% AND either <=2mg total THC/package OR a CBD:THC ratio of at least 25:1. This applies across ingestible and (per VCPA’s 'orally or by inhalation' language and the Nov. 2024 smoking-product amendments) inhalable/smokable forms alike, layered with VDACS retail-facility registration, COA, and labeling/child-resistant-packaging requirements. No statutory minimum age for hemp product retail sale was located in the sources reviewed this session -- flagged null rather than assumed. Regulatory oversight is set to transition from VDACS to the Cannabis Control Authority around August 2026 (SB 543/CHAP1016).

Controlling language, verbatim

'Industrial hemp extract' means an extract...that (a) contains a total tetrahydrocannabinol concentration that is no greater than 0.3 percent and (b) contains either no more than two milligrams of total tetrahydrocannabinol per package or an amount of cannabidiol that is no less than 25 times greater than the amount of total tetrahydrocannabinol per package
