Since the passage of the 2018 Farm Bill, the U.S. hemp industry has rapidly developed into a multimillion-dollar industry. See Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018, Pub. L. No. 115-334, 132 Stat. 4490. Although the federal government initially paved the way for the industry’s development, it has since taken a hands-off approach to regulating the sector. Thus, oversight of the market shifted to the states, which have been tasked with drafting and implementing comprehensive regulations to create their own state hemp programs. Due to the proliferation of the hemp industry—specifically in ways the market has remained unregulated, states across the country have administered regulations that generate confusion and hardship for current hemp operators. Recent actions from states such as California and Georgia have created a further dark cloud over the industry as operators feel that the states are going beyond efforts to curb the unregulated market, but rather dismantle the industry altogether.
