Grower, Processor & Dealer Permits for the Hemp/Cannabis Industry

How to Grow Marijuanas in VA?

Growing hemp in Virginia is now possible for many aspiring industrial hemp growers. Prior to March 21, 2019, hemp could only be grown in Virginia under a strict, exclusionary regulatory scheme. Amendments to the Virginia Industrial Hemp Law now allow for the commercial production of hemp. It is easier now than ever to become a Virginia licensed marijuana grower.

To legally possess hemp seeds, flowers, leaves, or plants in this state, you must register as an industrial grower, processor, or dealer. You may also register as an agent of someone else who has registered.

How to Get a Cannabis License in Virginia

To get a cannabis dealing, processing, or cultivation license in Virginia, you need to submit an application for a Pharmaceutical Processor license to the Board of Pharmacy. You will pay an initial application fee of $10,000 at the time of the application submission. Once your permit is issued, you will pay a permit fee of $60,000.

Grower, processor, and dealer permits in Virginia are issued on an annual basis and must be renewed. For renewing your permit annually, you would pay a fee of $10,000.

Virginia Code defines each type of industrial registrant as follows:

  • A grower is anyone who plans to plant, cultivate, or harvest
  • A processor is anyone who plants to convert hemp into a product
  • A dealer is anyone who plans to buy, process, or sell hemp in accordance with state or federal law

Products are those that contain industrial hemp. This can include rope, oil, extracts, food or their additives, cosmetics, building supplies, animal feed or bedding, and more.

Under state law, your hemp may be sampled and tested for THC content. THC concentration levels must not exceed 5% on a dry weight basis or you will be required to destroy it. Oil must be a minimum of 15% CBD or 15% THCA-A.
