You are required to have a license to grow or process industrial hemp. The grower license allows you to plant and harvest industrial hemp, if you register to do so. ... If you are processing only hemp that you grow, you need only the grower license.
So even someone interested in growing a few hemp plants for their own personal use still needs the same license as a farmer cropping many acres?
I can't imagine they would even grant you a grower license if your proposed farming land happened to be your backyard or spare bedroom. I would imagine they would laugh at you.
If we are talking about places liberal enough allow recreational cannabis, (Although that seems to be spreading to a lot more less and less liberal places. Its just too much tax revenue to turn down clearly.) combined with this new federal reclassification of hemp as legal to farm, and clearly recognizing CBD as non toxic. This is only as of a month ago, but even still I really don't see them granting or even requiring grow licenses at this point to grow a few hemp plants for personal use. The scenario does not suit their tax collection purpose the grower license was created for.
It would certainly be interesting to find out though.
If anyone ever tried applying for a hemp grow license for personal use or know someone who has, please tell us what happened
But then again, whatever may have happened in the past, its a whole new ball field now with the federal reclassification.
It seems like the hype around hemp being evil is now mostly considered old 1950's post war propaganda and people seem to care less and less about propaganda these days(for the most part) I realize this is not the case in some states, and maybe you can still get in a lot of trouble. Although its only a matter of time before someone appeals their way up to the supreme court on this issue for a new precedent to be set on this nationally, based on the federal reclassification.
