FC Global has launched its State Hemp and CBD Tracker as a way to establish a resource for hemp and CBD stakeholders regarding the laws and regulations of individual states that affect the growing, processing and sale of hemp and its derivatives including hemp seeds, hemp seed oil, and CBD.
Federal and state regulations of America’s new hemp and CBD industries are complicated. At the state level, they’re being drafted at a relatively quick pace. Some states are seeking to have their hemp regulations in place so that their farmers can take advantage of this spring’s planting season.
The 2018 Farm Bill, signed into law in December 2018, a little over a year ago, legalized the growing, processing, and sale of hemp, and derivatives of the hemp plant, including hemp seeds, hemp fiber, and CBD. It also delegated to individual states considerable regulatory responsibilities. These include whether hemp will be allowed to be grown in a state, and the implementation of a state hemp regulatory plan. State hemp regulations must be approved by the US Department of Agriculture (USDA).
Last week the USDA announced that it had approved hemp licensing plans for Louisiana, Ohio, and New Jersey. These three states are the first states to obtain USDA approval of their regulatory plans for the growing of industrial hemp in their states. The USDA also indicated that it was reviewing an additional 15 state plans and that another 8 states were drafting plans.
The USDA indicated that three Native American tribes, the Flandreau Santee Sioux, the La Jolla Band of Luiseno Indians, and the Santa Rosa Band of Cahuilla Indians have received approval for their hemp plans and that plans for an additional 15 tribes were either being drafted or reviewed.
In 2018 hemp was grown in 21 states, and in 2019 hemp in an additional 13 states, bringing the total number of states to 34. The National Conference of State Legislatures has stated that at least 47 states have passed legislation for hemp cultivation and production, most under the provisions of the 2014 Farm Bill, which allowed the growing of hemp for research and not for commercial purposes.
in announcing the State Hemp and CBD Tracker, Jeffrey Friedland, the CEO of FC Global Strategies, stated, “Hemp and CBD have been reported to be America’s two fastest-growing new industries. This has led to tremendous opportunities for entrepreneurs in the hemp and CBD industries. A key to the growth of these industries is following and complying with the regulations of individual states. We established the State Hemp and CBD Tracker to provide a continually updated resource regarding the status of state hemp and CBD rules and regulations.”
