Virginia Hemp Businesses Face New Rules | Richmond News

Virginia hemp businesses face a sudden legal crackdown after a federal judge denied their bid to block new THC limits, forcing companies like Kultivate Wellness and Redfern Hemp Co. to scramble as products once deemed legal now exceed the 2-milligram THC threshold. Though the state isn’t mandating destruction of inventory, the ruling effectively sidelines their operations under the new rules—seen by advocates as a property rights violation. With no immediate relief in sight, lawmakers are being urged to act fast, calling for a special session to reinstate the old hemp definition and protect struggling small businesses until Virginia’s recreational marijuana market launches next summer.
