Nevada Governor Signs Hemp Research Bill Into law
Sprouting hemp plants.
Nevada Governor Brian Sandoval has signed into law legislation that allows hemp to be cultivated for research purposes.
Senate Bill 305, introduced by Senator Tick Segerblom and passed by the state’s legislature with a unanimous vote, allows universities in the state, as well as the state’s Department of Agriculture, to grow and produce hemp for the purposes of researching the plant, with hemp being defined as having no more than 0.3% THC.
According to recent estimates by the Hemp Industries Association, there was over $600 million in hemp sold in the U.S. in 2016, despite the country retaining the illegality of hemp cultivation.
Next year, voters in Nevada will have the opportunity to legalize the possession, personal cultivation and state-sanctioned distribution of cannabis for recreational purposes.
