DCR revokes 25 microbusiness cannabis facility licenses
JEFFERSON CITY, MO — The Missouri Division of Cannabis Regulation (DCR) has revoked 25 microbusiness cannabis facility licenses during the second round of licensing for the Missouri voter-approved regulatory program for microbusinesses. Per Article XIV, microbusiness licenses are cannabis businesses that operate on a smaller scale than medical or comprehensive licenses. One of the requirements of the program is that the majority owner(s) must meet at least one eligibility qualification such as having a net worth of less than $250,000 or being a veteran with a service-connected disability. The microbusiness program is designed to provide an opportunity for cannabis facility ownership to individuals who might not otherwise easily access that opportunity.
Article XIV also requires the department to verify that microbusiness licenses were awarded to and are being operated by eligible owners. DCR must continue to monitor the details of microbusiness ownership arrangements, even if they later change, to ensure these licenses remain in compliance.
In October 2024, DCR issued 32 Notices of Pending Revocation (NOPR) for microbusiness licensees that were awarded on July 24, 2024. Each NOPR lists the basis for the pending revocation. Prior to the department revoking a license, the licensee is provided at least 30 days to respond to the allegations and submit records or information demonstrating why the license should not be revoked or suspended.
After thorough review, DCR determined that seven licensees satisfied the requirements outlined within their NOPR. In addition to other violations of rule, 24 licenses were revoked for failure to demonstrate that the microbusiness licenses were majority owned and operated by eligible individuals, pursuant to 19 CSR 100-1.190(1)(B)1-5 and Article XIV Section 2.4(12) and (13); one license was revoked for a disqualifying felony offense. The revocations took effect on April 14, 2025.
Below is the status of the 32 microbusiness licenses that received a notice of pending revocation:

U.S. hemp group gets $19.6 million to implement innovative conservation practices
The National Hemp Association (NHA) has been awarded $19.6 million from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA ) to lead a project aimed at protecting the Chesapeake Bay Watershed through climate-smart hemp farming.
The initiative, which will see hemp cultivated on up to 5,000 acres annually, employs practices such as contour farming, crop rotation, cover cropping, nutrient management, and no-till farming – methods that can reduce nutrient runoff, pesticide contamination, and soil erosion while improving the overall health of aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems.
The funding is from USDA’s Regional Conservation Partnership Program (RCPP), which connects public and private partners to implement innovative conservation practices. The RCPP is designed to address critical conservation challenges such as water quality, soil health, and wildlife habitat protection, making it a perfect fit for the NHA’s goals in the Chesapeake Bay region.

Missouri: NORML Affiliate Questions State Regulators’ Decision to Permit Toxic Additive in Certain Cannabis Products

The Missouri state affiliate of NORML is publicly questioning why newly adopted regulations explicitly allow for elevated levels of the potentially toxic additive vitamin E acetate in state-authorized cannabis products, including vape cartridges.
In 2019, the US Centers for Disease Control identified vitamin E acetate as a toxic additive most likely responsible for the EVALI (e-cigarette or vaping product use-associated lung injury), which resulted in dozens of deaths nationwide and nearly three thousand hospitalizations. Unregulated vape cartridge producers had been using the oil to thicken the consistency of their e-liquids and to mask dilution. Following the outbreak, many states explicitly banned any use of vitamin E acetate in legal cannabis products.
Nonetheless, Missouri regulators recently raised the allowable limit for vitamin E acetate in state-authorized cannabis products from 0.2 parts per million to 5 parts per million.
Missouri NORML is pushing back on regulators’ decision. In a recently published op-ed, Missouri NORML Coordinator Dan Viets, who also currently serves as NORML’s Board Chair, wrote: “Vitamin E acetate does not naturally occur in organic cannabis. If it is there, it is [present] only because someone has intentionally put it into the product. The addition of this product is usually for the purpose of increasing the marketability of the product by giving it a greater viscosity. Vitamin E acetate should never occur in any amount in a legal and regulated cannabis product.”
Viets added, “There appears to be no rational explanation for why the state of Missouri would dramatically increase the amount of a very toxic substance in legal cannabis products when none of it whatsoever should be present in them.”
NORML’s Deputy Director Paul Armentano also added: “Given what we know about this additive and its role in the EVALI public health crisis, there is no rational basis for this decision. The advantage of a state-regulated market is to provide consumers with product purity and safety. This decision greatly undermines these public health goals.”
Additional information is available from Missouri NORML or by contacting Dan Viets at (573) 819-2669 or danviets@gmail.com.

AAFCO Approves Hempseed Meal for Laying Hens - National Hemp Association
On August 7th, 2024, the Hemp Feed Coalition (HFC) achieved a historic success as the full Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO) membership approved the Ingredient Definition for Hempseed Meal (HSM) for Laying Hens. This federal approval represents a monumental moment for the hemp industry and a leap forward in animal nutrition. This is a critical first step in opening the door to widespread use of hemp grain in animal feed.
Hempseed Meal is not just another feed ingredient; it’s a powerhouse of nutrition. Packed with essential vitamins, minerals, and a complete protein profile—including all 20 amino acids and the nine essential ones—HSM offers unparalleled benefits for laying hens. Research has shown that incorporating HSM into a hen’s diet significantly improves egg quality. Hens fed with hempseed meal lay eggs enriched with essential fatty acids like ALA, DHA, and GLA, which are vital for promoting human health.
The approval process was no small feat. It involved years of rigorous evaluations, detailed correspondence with the FDA-Center for Veterinary Medicine (FDA-CVM), and careful consideration by the AAFCO Ingredient Definition Committee. This victory is thanks to the relentless efforts of the Hemp Feed Coalition and its partners. Their commitment to recognizing the value of hemp as a feed ingredient has been instrumental in achieving this success.
For farmers, the approval of Hempseed Meal provides a new avenue for crop rotation and farm flexibility, offering a nutritious and sustainable alternative to traditional feed sources like soy and canola. The nutritional benefits extend beyond the farm, as consumers will soon have access to eggs that are not only delicious but also nutritionally superior.

From left to right: HFC Executive Director, Morgan Tweet; HFC President, Andrew Bish; AAFCO Ingredient Definition Committee Chair Erin; HFC Board Member Bill Bookout
This milestone is just the beginning. The Hemp Feed Coalition remains dedicated to expanding the authorization of hemp seed products across a wider range of animals. As we look to the future, advocating for FDA and state-level approvals for hemp-based feed ingredients for pets and other non-production animals will be crucial in promoting agricultural diversity and sustainability.
The approval of Hempseed Meal for Laying Hens is more than just a win for the hemp industry—it’s a step towards a more resilient, diverse, and environmentally conscious agricultural future. Let’s keep the momentum going and continue to champion the integration of hemp into all aspects of animal nutrition.

Hemp Seed Meal Achieves Monumental Milestone on Path to Federal Approval
Hemp Seed Meal Tentatively Approved for Laying Hens
FDA agency gives go-ahead on definition of 'hemp seed meal' for laying hens https://t.co/5WlakOQWPr via @hemptodaynews
— Scotty (@StLHandyMan) January 31, 2024
With the FDA-Center for Veterinary Medicine’s (FDA-CVM’s) recommendation for approval, the Ingredient Definition Committee approved the HSM tentative definition on Tuesday, January 23, 2024, with no opposition. This will go before AAFCO’s Board and members for final approval, and then be adopted into the Official Publication later this year. This historic milestone has been more than three years in the making and will allow processors to formulate with HSM in the diets of laying hens as a source of protein and fat at an inclusion of no more than 20%. To see the ingredient definition in its entirety, please visit hempfeedcoalition.org.
The Hemp Feed Coalition announces FDA-CVM’s recommendation for approval of Hemp Seed Meal for laying hens as a protein and fat source at AAFCO mid-year meeting.
This hemp grain derivative is a highly nutritious ingredient with a wide range of essential vitamins, minerals, healthy oils, and a complete protein profile. Research confirms the nutrition profile and functionality of hemp feed resemble that of soy and canola while alleviating concerns about its suitability as an ingredient. Evidence also shows increased value over typical feed sources, with significant improvement in egg quality as HSM concentration increases in the hen’s diet. Notably, hemp-fed hens lay eggs enriched with essential fatty acids such as ALA, DHA, and GLA, and increased amounts of Lutein which are known promotors for human health. The safety of HSM has been validated through FDA-CVM’s rigorous evaluation, providing formulators and feed mills assurance that HSM is a safe and viable protein and fat source. Data to support this application included the validated method and quantification of cannabinoids in both the ingredient and egg product, and it was verified that any potential cannabinoid contaminants did not transfer over to human food products.

Safe, nutritious alternatives like HSM improve efficiencies across US feed supply chains. Feed mills and formulators have eagerly awaited this approval, having recognized the potential of hemp feed products long ago. HFC looks forward to collaborating with feed producers to incorporate HSM as a viable solution to their supply challenges.
Farmers interested in hemp have expressed their desire for additional rotations but are hesitant to do so without the risk mitigation of a feed market. New crops like hemp bring benefits to soil, disease control, and farm flexibility; and with hemp in particular, lower input needs, resulting in a more sustainable supply chain overall. "Hemp's integration into animal feed is a catalyst for agricultural advancement. It's an opportunity for farmers to diversify with lower risk for supply chains to become more sustainable, and for the entire agricultural community to reap the benefits of this versatile crop." - Andrew Bish, President of HFC and COO of Bish Enterprises, a company rooted in agricultural innovation.
HFC is excited to enable a more nutritious ingredient, reduce risk for farmers, and open hemp market opportunities. HFC members are proud to support these efforts and lay the groundwork for hemp grain products in feed across species. To learn more about the benefits of HSM for laying hens, join HFC and visit the MemberZone page to access additional data and resources.
Hemp Feed Coalition is a 501(c)(3) organization that consists of hemp and feed industry leaders dedicated to facilitating the health of our animals as well as the expansion of the hemp industry. HFC is currently prepping trial data and seeking partners- become a Champion of the next Hemp Feed Application.

EPA Establishes First Pesticide Tolerance for Hemp
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has established the first pesticide tolerance for hemp. This tolerance is for the pesticide ethalfluralin. After a robust human health risk assessment, on April 10th, EPA issued a final tolerance rule that established the maximum amount of ethalfluralin residues allowed to remain in or on hemp seed. Today, EPA accepted labels for this pesticide that now contain directions for use on hemp. Establishing a tolerance for residues of ethalfluralin on hemp and accepting updated pesticide labels provides farmers with an additional tool to control annual broadleaf and grassy weeds that grow in hemp fields.
EPA is responsible for regulating the pesticides used to protect crops grown for human food and animal feed and for setting limits on the amount of pesticides that may remain in or on foods marketed in the United States. These limits on pesticides left on foods are called "tolerances."
Under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, any person can file a petition with EPA requesting that the agency establish tolerances for a pesticide’s use on a crop.
The 2018 Farm Bill authorized the production of hemp, and removed hemp and hemp seeds from the Drug Enforcement Administration’s schedule of Controlled Substances. The changes in the legal status of hemp led to increased interest in growing the crop and in pest control options for hemp growers. There are currently biopesticides already registered for use on hemp. However, those pesticides are tolerance exempt because the risk assessments EPA conducted demonstrated that the risks from aggregate exposure to pesticide residues under reasonably foreseeable circumstances would pose no harm to human health.
Ethalfluralin, a conventional pesticide, is an herbicide that already has tolerances for use on other crops such as peanuts, potatoes, and soybeans. In October 2020, EPA received a petition from Interregional Research Project No. 4 (IR-4) requesting tolerances be established for residues of ethalfluralin in or on several crops, including hemp. IR-4 is a USDA-funded project that helps specialty crop growers address pest management concerns. As this is the first instance of establishing a food tolerance for hemp, EPA considered the agronomics of hemp production and developed science policies to guide assessment of potential human health exposure and risk from application of ethalfluralin on hemp. The final tolerance rule issued this week established tolerances for residues of ethalfluralin for hemp as well as well as other commodities that were part of the subject petition.
EPA’s tolerance for residues of ethalfluralin in or on hemp seed is based on carefully considered scientific rationale using ethalfluralin residue field trial data from several other crops. This new use of ethalfluralin on hemp is not expected to pose any unreasonable risks to people or the environment.
