Land Use & Zoning for Hemp & Cannabis

Currently, forty states in the U.S. have eliminated legal impediments to hemp production. In 2018, Congress legalized hemp in its Farm Bill, opening the way to a potential massive growth in the industry. In April of 2020, Virginia signed Senate Bill 918 to approve industrial hemp extract as a food, thus subjecting hemp production to all applicable regulations.

The demand for medical marijuana and the overall shift toward a relaxed position on the use of cannabis has grown in recent years. Because of this, it has become necessary for Virginia and its local jurisdictions to reexamine its land use and zoning laws and regulations. As the cannabis and hemp industries continue to expand, land planning and zoning ordinances will likely need to adapt.

Incoming legislation will allow localities to determine if they will harbor cannabis related businesses. Additionally, localities will be able to regulate the business hours of such establishsments, fining those that go against these regulations.

Regulations in Growing Hemp on Land

Even with these many new freedoms, hemp is still a regulated product. You are required to obtain a license before you can start planting hemp as a crop. Additionally, you must fully own the land you plan to use for production. Your production field can be randomly selected for inspection to ensure your crop does not exceed 0.3% total THC.

This is a constantly changing area of law, and we are dedicated to protecting you and your business interests.
