About Hemp
“Hemp" refers to cannabis plants with no more than 0.3% total delta-9-THC. Cannabis plants that exceed 0.3% total delta-9-THC are “marijuana." Hemp products generally fall into three categories:
- Grain – Products made from hemp seeds
- Fiber – Products made from hemp stalk
- Cannabinoid hemp – Products made from hemp flower or cannabinoids like CBD extracted from hemp
The Oregon Department of Agriculture is the primary agency responsible for regulation of hemp and hemp products in Oregon. ODA licenses hemp growers and handlers and is responsible for hemp product testing rules. For more information, visit
