Massachusetts legalized hemp under the same 2016 law that legalized recreational marijuana. Then, in 2018, Massachusetts set up a permitting process, and, that year, issued 13 licenses for hemp growing. Later that year, in December 2018, the federal government passed the 2018 Farm Bill that made it federally legal to grow hemp.
