Lawmakers in Tennessee have introduced a pair of bills that would remove industrial hemp from the definition of marijuana, decriminalizing the cultivation of the crop.

The bills would not establish specific licensing requirements for hemp cultivation, but it would add industrial hemp to the definition of “farm product” in the Tennessee agricultural code, effectively removing all barriers to hemp cultivation in the state.

The bills, filed jointly in the House (HB 1392) and Senate (SB 1686), are sponsored by Sen. Frank Nicely (R-Strawberry Plains) and Rep Jeremy Faison (R-Cosby).

Sen. Nicely says that allowing hemp cultivation in Tennessee could prove to be a financial boon for the state’s farmers. Sales of hemp products in the United States have grown steadily since 1990 to achieve over $500 million in annual sales in 2012.
