Hemp-Derived Cannabinoids
On September 27, 2024, the Tennessee Department of Agriculture promulgated and filed permanent rules for hemp producers and retailers and suppliers of hemp-derived cannabinoid (HDC) products. These permanent rules will become effective on December 26, 2024, and can be viewed here.
A licensing program was put in place on July 1, 2024, for the Department to accept applications for licensure of retailers and suppliers of HDC products. Under those emergency rules, the Department is enforcing all statutory and licensing requirements.
Licensing information, including the digital application form, is available here.
