15k Worth of Hemp Stolen from South Carolina Farm

Over the years, hemp, a type of cannabis plant, has gained popularity for its industrial and medicinal uses. The police have asked people planning on stealing hemp to re-evaluate their decision because, according to the experts, hemp does not give the high effect. This warning doesn’t seem to have had any effect as several incidents of pulled hemp plants have been reported in South Carolina and elsewhere around the country. In South Carolina, Horry County Police Department Lieutenant Mark Bonner said that although hemp and marijuana plants are similar, hemp alone is an invaluable product because it has many uses…

Highlights of Virginia’s 2019 Hemp Season

Hemp growers in the Southeast region of the U.S, such as Virginia, are faced with a dry and warm growing season, which is riddled with diseases and pest pressure. Many farmers in these regions grew hemp for CBD production and flower for smoking. However, this season, their crops, especially the flowers, were attacked by corn eating worms. To contribute to the research in the growing hemp industry, the state of Virginia, which is looking to revitalize the tobacco-growing region, donated $400,000 for a state testing lab for crops including hemp. Last week, researchers from Virginia Tech received a $500,000 grant…

California to Bring its Hemp Law in Line With Federal Law

Ever since the Farm Bill of 2018 legalized the cultivation of industrial hemp, the industry has quite literally exploded. Demand for CBD products has been tremendous, and a plethora of sellers have flooded the market to cater to it. Sadly, legislators have been slow to come up with regulations to rein in and regulate the industry. This has turned the CBD industry into a sort of Wild West, where sellers can make wild, unsubstantiated claims about their products, and the quality and prices aren't standardized. However, some states have started taking action to regulate the industry. California Governor Gavin Newsom…

Louisiana Hemp Program on Course for Next Season

Toward the end of last week, the Department of Agriculture and Forestry in Louisiana announced that it had submitted rules and regulations for the Louisiana industrial hemp program to the state registers office.

The Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry Commissioner Mike Strain…

West Virginia Hemp Farmers Unhappy With THC Testing Protocol

Famers in West Virginia are complaining that their hemp crop is undergoing stricter testing than in other states. This stringent testing of THC is putting them at a disadvantage as it costs them huge profits in an industry that is multiplying rapidly. West Virginia growers are forced to cut their cop before maturity because, unlike other states, the Department of Agriculture in West Virginia are testing total THC instead of delta-9 THC (tetrahydrocannabinol). Hemp is a product of the marijuana plant, but unlike marijuana, which has high levels of THC, hemp has lower levels of THC. Thus, people who consume…
