    Florida Approves Plan for Hemp Production Despite FDA Constraints on CBD

    in Hemp News


    Florida is a step closer to permitting hemp production, with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signing into law legislation set forth in Florida Statutes Section 581.217, establishing a state hemp program within the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS). The law tasks the FDACS with developing regulations for administering the state’s hemp program, including regulations for licensing, cultivation, and distribution of hemp and its constituent parts, which include cannabidiol (CBD), and submitting the state’s plan to the U.S. Secretary of Agriculture for approval. The law took effect July 1.

    Florida’s new state hemp plan comes on the heels—and as a direct result—of passage of the Federal Agricultural Improvement Act of 2018, signed into law by President Donald Trump on Dec. 22, 2018. Commonly referred to as the Farm Bill, the legislation took important steps to remove a number of federal prohibitions that had stymied the U.S. hemp industry for decades. For example, the Farm Bill expanded the definition of hemp to include any part or derivative of the cannabis plant with 0.3% or less THC; removed most forms of hemp from the Controlled Substances Act; tasked the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) with establishing benchmark federal regulations governing the licensing, cultivation, and distribution of hemp; and, importantly, permits the states to submit state-sponsored hemp programs to the USDA and apply for primary regulatory authority over the production of hemp in their jurisdictions.

    Florida’s newly enacted hemp program therefore constitutes the state’s plan for regulation of hemp and its derivative products as contemplated by the Farm Bill. The new law mandates that the FDACS—within 30 days of the USDA’s enactment of not-yet-announced federal regulations—submit the state’s hemp plan to the U.S. Secretary of Agriculture for approval. Should Florida’s hemp plan not be approved by the USDA, the law directs FDACS to develop a recommendation to amend the plan for ultimate approval and re-submission. In addition, the law establishes licensure requirements for growers and a structure to ensure the purity,
