When the World Wants Hemp
by Digital Solution Expert Digital Solution ExpertCultivating hemp seeds has been
on the rise in Nevada since the bill for the legalization of hemp has been
passed. Many growers have procured licenses for growing hemp. Hemp is a crop
that is used in its extracted form as a cannabinoid and a cure for many ailments.
Year after year hemp’s medicinal value has been explored and hemp extracts have
been found useful in an array of ailments, wherein other cures don’t work.
Uses of Hemp:
Hemp dates back to 8000 BC and
was traditionally used to make sacks, ropes, textiles, and other products of
daily use. Hemp is a cousin of Marijuana, has properties similar to that of
marijuana and thus is recently in talks across the world. The versatility of
hemp makes it a charmer. Researches have shown that hemp carries the potential
to cure various ailments and this is used to make anti-inflammatory drugs,
topicals, cures of Asperger's syndrome, cures of epilepsies, and numerous other
cure drugs. Hemp is used in making edibles, topicals and other products. The
ubiquity of hemp makes it easy for the producers, procurers, distillers, and
other drug manufacturers.
Industrial Hemp Program:
The Industrial Hemp Program was
developed to assist with advancing the knowledge base and increasing the
awareness of industrial hemp production. Like a few states, Nevada has
legalized the cultivation of CBD Hemp for research and pilot projects. This
project intends to illustrate the agricultural benefits of hemp cultivation in
Nevada. Industrial Hemp includes the non-psychoactive, low-THC, oil-seed and
fiber varieties of the plant Cannabis Sativa. Hemp has no use as a recreational
drug. Growing hemp provides a farmer with the potential to diversify the crop
and determine the capacities of hemp growth.
Farm Bill:
There are indeed quite fewer restrictions
on the purchase of hemp-based products. So it is true in Nevada too. A 2014
Farm Bill in section 7606 authorizes institutions of higher education or state
departments of agriculture in states that have legalized hemp cultivation to
conduct research and pilot programs.
The Nevada Program:
The Nevada State department of
agriculture has proposed regulations for the law and intends on regulating the
certification and regulation of hemp-based projects. One can thus procure hemp
seeds from a certified farmer or cultivator.
Hemp seeds can be used in
various ways. Those can be used to extract oil, grounded for topicals, or grow
more hemp. Based on the calculations and current scenario hemp seeds cost
around $2.75 to $3.75 adding the NDA surcharge one can get hemp seeds for
around $5 per pound. A typical planting proportion is around 25 pounds per
acre.
Required Protocols and
Responsibilities:
It is illegal to produce hemp
without proper certification. It is also illegal to produce hemp for reasons
other than the ones aforementioned. The seeds go impotent on cooking or
irradiation. The growers, seed producers, handlers need to follow the required
protocol. The protocol includes a legal application, payment of all the fees,
payment of all program fees and adhering to all of Nevada State regulations.
The responsibilities of NDA or
Nevada Department of Agriculture are to issue licensure to qualifying program
candidates, assist in importation of seed varieties, conduct testing on all
active fields to ensure biomass contains less than 0.3% THC, monitor supply
chain, issue documents ensuring legitimacy of product and compliance of
participants, develop testing requirements for product manufacturing, act as a
liaison to the industry and support the continued growth of this crop.
The NDA has not implemented any
area restrictions to industrial hemp. A grower can grow as much as or as little
as one wants, so far one is appropriately zoned for production.
