Hemp.com has launched a new State-by-State Hemp Regulations resource—a practical guide to how hemp rules, licensing, and reporting work across every U.S. state. The tool is designed for farmers, processors, researchers, and supply-chain professionals who need clear, source-linked guidance—not guesswork.
Explore the full breakdown here: https://www.hemp.com/intelligence/regulations/
What the Guide Covers
Each state profile includes a licensing guide with the primary regulatory agency, official links to licensing portals, rules and state plans, and USDA HeMP references where applicable. Profiles also include cultivation and processing summaries with direct source links, plus suggested next steps tailored to farmers, processors, and researchers.
How We Score Information Accessibility
States are evaluated on a 1–5 rubric focused on information accessibility—not legal restrictiveness. The rubric measures three axes:
- Information accessibility: clarity of summaries, connector data, and USDA vs. state plan guidance
- Program clarity: cultivation and processing summaries with dual official links
- Reporting channel clarity: USDA HeMP vs. state portal paths, with connector and source URLs
Interactive Map Filters
An interactive map lets you filter states by:
- Overall guidance score (1–5)
- State plan vs. USDA-managed authority
- License requirements for cultivation and processing
- Data depth available on Hemp.com
- Individual rubric axes
