Yes, it is legal.
They have moved away from the pilot program, and are now issuing licenses for growers, seed distributors, processors, and other roles for industrial hemp farming based upon the 2018 farm bill.

The 2015 Nevada lawmakers authorized growing of hemp for research and guide projects. A copy of the central law is assigned. Industrial hemp, which includes the non-psychoactive, low –THC, oilseed, and fiber species of the plant Cannabis sativa. Hemp ultimately has no use as a recreational drug.

Yes, growing hemp is legal in Nevada. In 2015, hemp was legalized for research purposes only. After the 2018 Farm Act, hemp was legalized for commercial purposes. As of 2019, there are already an estimated 7,247 acres of hemp grown in Nevada. The crops are carefully inspected and monitored by the state to make sure that federal regulations are complied with.

Yes, it is legal. You will need to obtain a license since they only allow industrial hemp to be grown, currently. Like any business endeavor, you will want a business plan in place and have identified any hurdles that you may have to overcome.

In 2015, the Nevada legislature did legalize cultivating hemp for pilot projects and research only. They only legalized growing industrial hemp, low THC, non-psychoactive, oilseed and the fiber varieties. Nevada has been careful to remind everyone that hemp has no purpose as a recreational drug!

Your last line is so crucial for the public to understand! Which, I get it, it looks the same… Many farmers around here had issues with folks coming in and stealing entire plants, right before harvest! Which was the main reason we planted in a hidden area of the farm and kept more or less hush-hush during the growing season lol?
