NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WSMV) - The Tennessee Department of Agriculture reports that it won’t be changing anything with the current hemp program in the state, for now.

This clarification comes as the department awaits federal guidance on a new provision regarding hemp that was included in the federal funding legislation ending the government shutdown in mid-November.

“TN’s hemp program will remain unchanged under existing state law while federal agencies develop guidance to implement the new provision,” the state said. “Similarly, at this time regulation of hemp production and hemp-derived cannabinoid products also remains unchanged under current state law.”
