Oregon CBD producer ships CBD that has more THC than legal limit to my store. I get a lab report from them that states it is under legal limit but a DEA test shows product actually has more than legal limit. Who is at fault criminally ?

Possible both you and the seller. Though CBD sales are legal in Florida (you can get them at CVS and GNC), and while you may have a defense to the charge, that you relied upon the lab report of the manufacturer, you can be held responsible for possession and sale of a controlled substance. DEA could go after Oregon seller for a number of violations of federal law. Lawyer up right away if you haven't already.
