Industrial Hemp Program

The Industrial Hemp Program is a government initiative that regulates the cultivation, processing, and sale of hemp, a variety of the cannabis plant with low THC levels. It allows farmers and businesses to grow hemp legally for uses like textiles, food, pharmaceuticals, and building materials. The program ensures compliance with national and state laws, including quality standards and licensing requirements. Since hemp contains minimal psychoactive substances, it is distinct from marijuana. This program supports economic development, sustainable practices, and successful integration of hemp into various industries.
