Colorado's Department of Agriculture is leading the way...

Hemp: Read final regulations for growing industrial hemp in Colorado
By Melanie Asmar Fri., Nov. 29 2013 at 12:00 PM

Back in October, we shared with you the Colorado Department of Agriculture's draft regulations for the growing of industrial hemp. Now, those regulations are official -- with one change. Instead of facing a registration suspension or revocation if testing reveals that a grower's plants exceed 0.3 percent THC, the final rules say that a grower will not be subject to any penalty as long as the "crop is destroyed or utilized in a manner approved of and verified by" the state agriculture commissioner.
Keep reading for the full list of hemp regulations.

Are we finally seeing a big change?
I think so and it's been a long time coming.

hosted an Industrial Hemp Forum last week in Ft. Collins.

We have legalized weed, passed common sense gun legislation, legal civil unions, and have passed guidelines for growing industrial hemp. Watch Colorado grow!

Otherwise there will be a shitstorm raised on this administration bigger than the busting of dispensaries.
