The Georgia state Senate voted to approve a Cannabis production measure, which would set rules for Georgia’s new hemp farming industry. The legislation now requires that anyone transporting hemp plants will have to carry documentation or risk arrest. Hemp Farmers in Georgia are also now legally required to obtain licenses, allow hemp sales to out-of-state businesses and raise the annual processing fee to $50,000 a year, up from a $10,000 fee set last year.
