Colorado has assembled its panel of cannabis experts to suggest fixes for cross-pollination concerns among outdoor hemp and marijuana growers.
The group comes in response to a new law that calls for solutions to cannabis pollen-drift concerns.
The law also aims to look at the prospect of wild or volunteer cannabis, plants growing outside facilities licensed for marijuana or hemp.
Colorado has licensed 564 hemp farmers on 19,707 outdoor acres.
State analysts estimate the state has 120 outdoor growers of medical or recreational marijuana. (Colorado’s marijuana regulators do not keep track of which registrants are growing outdoors, making the number an estimate.)
Business leaders need reliable industry data and in-depth analysis to make smart investments and informed decisions in these uncertain economic times.
