As Virginia’s hemp industry continues to grow, compliance has become the foundation of trust between manufacturers, distributors, and retailers. For wholesale partners looking to add THC beverages to their lineup, understanding VDACS regulations is essential. At Pure Shenandoah, we’ve built our reputation on transparency, seed-to-sip traceability, and full compliance with Virginia law — so you can stock our products with confidence.
The Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (VDACS) oversees hemp cultivation, processing, and distribution throughout the Commonwealth. Their mission is to ensure consumer safety, enforce agricultural standards, and regulate compliance for hemp-derived products, including beverages.
For wholesalers, retailers, and distributors, working with a VDACS-compliant partner reduces risk and ensures your customers receive safe, legal, and high-quality products.
In 2023, Virginia established clear rules for hemp-derived THC beverages. The most important standard is the 25:1 CBD to THC ratio for any beverage exceeding 2mg of THC per serving. Products that fail to meet this ratio are considered non-compliant and cannot be sold in Virginia.
Buzzin’ Breeze, Pure Shenandoah’s newest seed-to-sip THC seltzer, is federally compliant under the 2018 Farm Bill and carefully crafted to align with Virginia’s standards. Each can contains 2mg THC, 4mg CBD, and 14mg CBG — delivering a smooth, balanced experience that promotes relaxation, social enjoyment, and wellness.
For wholesalers who want to dive deeper, you can also reference the Virginia hemp laws, which outline additional rules for hemp-derived products.
Every wholesale partner should require Certificates of Analysis (COAs) for the products they stock. These third-party lab reports prove compliance with THC limits, confirm cannabinoid content, and protect retailers against regulatory challenges.
Pure Shenandoah publishes all COAs online, ensuring traceability from seed to sip. Our transparency helps distributors demonstrate compliance and build trust with their customers.
