A Miramar hemp shop was selling products inspectors flagged as controlled substances. The stop sale report ran 157 pages.

MIRAMAR, FL. Back in March 2026, state agriculture inspectors walked into Bluntly Smoke Shop and Cafe and found packages of WUNDER Amanita Muscaria Mushroom Kava Gummies sitting on the retail shelf, a product inspectors cited as containing amanita muscaria, a substance they flagged as poisonous or deleterious. Stop sale orders were issued on the spot.

That was one item on a violation report that ultimately ran 157 pages.

What Inspectors Found on the Shelves

The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services inspection on March 2, 2026 produced 25 violations and stop sale orders covering dozens of individual product lines across three categories: controlled substance violations, labeling violations, and container requirement violations.

Hemp extract products on the retail shelves were found to exceed the 0.3% total delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol concentration limit, based on the products' own package labeling or certificates of analysis. Those products received stop sale orders citing Chapter 893, Florida Statutes, the state's controlled substance law.

Multiple kratom products were cited for missing the concentration of 7-Hydroxymitragynine, a potent kratom alkaloid, expressed in parts per million on a dry-weight basis, as required by Florida emergency rule 5KER25-6. The same kratom products were also found without net weight, manufacturer name and location, and ingredient listings on their labels. Stop sale orders were issued.

Inspectors also noted that no sign was posted at the point of sale or adjacent to the kratom display stating that kratom sales to persons under 21 are prohibited and that proof of age is required. Age restriction signage for hemp extract products was similarly absent.

A Shelf Full of Packaging Failures

The labeling and container problems extended across the hemp extract inventory in ways that touched nearly every product on the floor. Hemp extract products were found without child-resistant packaging meeting ASTM standards, without light-blocking containers, without scannable barcodes or QR codes, and without batch numbers. Products were also missing expiration dates, milligram counts for each marketed cannabinoid, serving size information, and the name and place of business of the processor or distributor.

Where QR codes did exist, inspectors found they did not link directly to the product's certificate of analysis within three or fewer steps, as required.

Hemp extract products were found in containers designed to attract children, including products with color additives and packaging in the shape of cartoons, humans, or animals. Multiple Astro Eight Cannabis Infused Nerds were cited for having a reasonable resemblance to an existing commercially available candy product.

Hemp Extract Monkey products intended solely for inhalation were found without the required label statement: "Not Intended For Ingestion, Do Not Eat."

Hemp extract products with expired dates were still on the shelf.

The foreign-language snack items, packages of Cheetos and RITZ without English-language labeling, were voluntarily discarded during the visit. Those received a stop sale order and release. They were the only items resolved on site.

What These Violations Mean

The controlled substance findings are the most legally serious category in this inspection. When hemp extract products test above the 0.3% delta-9 THC threshold, or when products are flagged under Chapter 893, they cross from the legal hemp market into territory governed by Florida's controlled substance law. A customer buying a product from a retail shelf has no way to know, from the packaging alone, whether the item meets that threshold, because the inspection found that many of the products at Bluntly lacked the required certificates of analysis, batch numbers, and QR codes that would link back to third-party lab testing.

The amanita muscaria finding is a separate and acute concern. Amanita muscaria is a mushroom species that contains psychoactive compounds including muscimol and ibotenic acid. The inspector cited the WUNDER gummies under the provision covering food that bears or contains a poisonous or deleterious substance. Unlike psilocybin mushrooms, amanita muscaria is not a scheduled controlled substance under federal law, but Florida's food safety statute prohibits its sale as a food product.

The kratom labeling failures compound the risk for consumers. Kratom contains alkaloids with varying potency across products, and the 7-Hydroxymitragynine concentration requirement exists precisely so buyers know what dose they are consuming. Products missing that figure, along with ingredient lists and manufacturer information, give a customer no basis to make an informed decision about what they are ingesting or how much.

The missing age restriction signage matters in a different way. Both kratom and hemp extract products are restricted to buyers 21 and older under Florida law. Without posted notices at the point of sale, there is no visible enforcement mechanism at the counter.

The Longer Record

The March 2, 2026 inspection was triggered as a re-inspection under the category "Operating Without a Valid Food Permit, Product Re-inspection Required," meaning the shop had already been flagged for operating without a valid food permit before this visit. Two of the 25 violations were marked as repeat citations, including the food permit violation itself and the kratom 7-Hydroxymitragynine labeling failure. Both had been documented in a prior inspection.

The permit situation was still unresolved at the time of the March visit. The inspector noted that an application had been submitted and that the establishment was required to remit payment of the appropriate fee within 10 days.

Not a single violation was corrected on site during the March 2 inspection, other than the voluntary removal of the foreign-language snack products. The stop sale orders on the controlled substance products, the mislabeled kratom, the amanita mushroom gummies, and the dozens of hemp extract products with packaging failures all remained in place at the close of the inspection.

The stop sale document that came out of that visit ran to page 157.
