Hemp Workshops Planned

June 7, 2019

Commissioner Nicole “Nikki” Fried is announcing that the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS) will hold hemp rulemaking workshops this month throughout the state. As the Governor is expected to sign the state hemp legislation soon, the Department is hosting the workshops to create a space for the public to ask questions and provide valuable input into the hemp rulemaking process, as this exciting new industry starts up in Florida.

“Our new state hemp program marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter here in Florida and brings a chance to strengthen our agriculture industry, increase access to safe CBD products, and diversify and fuel our state economy,” said Commissioner Nikki Fried. “We’re working to build the new state hemp program from the ground up, and we want to hear from the people it’s intended to serve. I encourage everyone to join us at these workshops — we’re making history, and want Floridians alongside us every step of the way.”

The North Florida Hemp Workshop will be held Monday, June 24 from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. EDT at the R.A. Gray Building Auditorium, 500 S Bronough St, Tallahassee.

    Maybe “…throughout the state.” will include someplace more near Escambia and Santa Rosa counties.
