Short answer

No. Utah bans selling cannabinoid products added to conventional food or drinks, except liquid suspensions under 2 oz. Registered hemp products are also capped at 5 mg THC per serving and 150 mg per package and may be sold only by permitted retailers to people 21 and over.[1][2]

Utah makes it unlawful to sell a cannabinoid product added to a conventional food or beverage (Utah Code 4-41-105(2)(a)(iii)(A)). UDAF rules bar registering such products, except basic-shape gummies and liquid suspensions under 2 oz, and UDAF cites 'CBD-infused soda' as a prohibited example. Products that are allowed must be registered with UDAF, sold by a UDAF-permitted retailer to buyers 21+, and stay under 5 mg THC per serving, 150 mg per package, <0.3% THC by dry weight, and THC ≤10% of total cannabinoids.[1][2]

Delta-9 THC drinks in Utah: what’s allowed

  • Limit per serving: 5 mg total THC plus any THC analog per serving (Utah Code 4-41-102(6)(d)(i)). Beverages are not registrable regardless of dose, apart from liquid suspensions under 2 oz.[2][7]
  • Limit per container or package: 150 mg total THC plus any THC analog per package (Utah Code 4-41-102(6)(d)(ii)). Also: combined THC and analog concentration below 0.3% by dry weight, and THC plus analogs no more than 10% of total cannabinoid content (4-41-102(6)(b)-(c)).[2][7]
  • How THC is counted: total THC (total THC = delta-9 + THCA × 0.877, plus any THC analog such as delta-8)[2][7]
  • Delta-8, THCA and other cannabinoids: 'Non-compliant material' includes products containing THCP, delta-8 or delta-9 THC acetate (THC-O), or HHC (Utah Code 4-41-102(19)(c)). Artificially derived cannabinoids (made by a chemical reaction that changes molecular structure) are listed as adulterants (4-41-102(1)(e), (2)). 'THC analog' (anything substantially similar to delta-9, e.g., delta-8) counts toward the mg limits; CBD, CBG, CBN, CBC, THCV and others are excluded from that term (4-41-102(24)). Smokable flower and e-cigarette products are prohibited.[2]

Age and purchase rules in Utah

  • Minimum age: 21 (Utah Code 4-41-105(2)(a)(iv); retailer ID check required by 4-41-103.3(3)(a), both as amended by HB 389, Ch. 421, 2026, effective 2026-05-06)[1][3]
  • Where it can be sold: Only UDAF industrial hemp retailer permittees may market or sell cannabinoid products (Utah Code 4-41-103.3(1)), and only UDAF-registered products (4-41-105(2)(a)(i)). Conventional food/beverage cannabinoid products may not be sold at all (4-41-105(2)(a)(iii)(A)). HB 389 (2026) also lets medical cannabis pharmacies sell low-THC (<0.3%) products.[1][3][9]
  • Seller licenses: Industrial Hemp Retailer Permit from UDAF, renewed annually ($100 fee per UDAF), one per store location (Utah Code 4-41-103.3; R66-34-3; UDAF). Every cannabinoid product must be registered annually with UDAF, including a UDAF state-lab cannabinoid profile (4-41-104; R66-35). Retailers must also register with the Utah State Tax Commission for the cannabinoid product tax. Fine of up to $5,000 for selling unregistered products (4-41-403(3) as amended by SB 101, effective 2027-01-01).[1][3][9]
  • Online sales, shipping and delivery: No Utah statute or rule specific to online or remote sales of cannabinoid products was found. The retailer-permit and registration requirements apply to anyone who 'markets, sells or distributes' cannabinoid products in Utah (UDAF). THC beverages cannot be registered, so shipping them to Utah consumers is not lawful. Whether an out-of-state online seller of otherwise-compliant products can get a per-location retailer permit was not verified.

How the federal hemp rule affects Utah

Federal law is a separate layer on top of Utah law. A federal law signed November 12, 2025 rewrites the federal definition of hemp so that finished products may contain no more than 0.4 milligrams of total THC per container. A second law signed September 2, 2026 delays most of that change until December 11, 2026; until then it applies only to products made with cannabinoids the cannabis plant can’t produce naturally. Follow the dates on our federal hemp rule tracker.[F1][F2]

Pending bills and local rules in Utah

  • UDAF proposed amendments to R66-30, R66-31, R66-34 and R66-35 (Utah State Bulletin, July 15, 2026). The R66-35 change mainly drops the label ban on medical claims and keeps the conventional-food exceptions, with an anticipated effective date of 2026-08-21. A final effective-date notice was not confirmed from an official source.[8]
  • Local rules: None found.
