Last inspected:

17514 Preserve Walk Ln, Tampa, FL 33647
Overview

Mr. Greenthumbs in Tampa has been the subject of targeted FDACS enforcement focused on hemp product labeling and packaging compliance under Florida's hemp extract regulations. A stop-sale order issued September 18, 2024 required the voluntary destruction of hemp products marketed as attractive to children under FS 581.217. The facility has since faced two focused inspections addressing kratom labeling violations, with the January 30, 2026 inspection citing failure to declare the concentration of 7-Hydroxymitragynine (7-OH) in parts per million on a dry-weight basis as required by Emergency Rule 5KER25-6. Inspector notes from that inspection warned that failure to correct the labeling within 30 days would result in administrative action. The facility reported discontinuing kratom products as of the March 4, 2026 inspection. An initial inspection on December 15, 2022 cited five violations including lack of written procedures for employees responding to vomiting or diarrhea events. The facility has logged six total FDACS inspections on record with no violations documented on the two most recent focused inspections.
