Stem Holdings, Inc. has received approval to cultivate hemp on a 14-acre farm outside of Portland, Oregon. This hemp cultivation license comes just a month after the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018 (commonly known as the 2018 U.S. Farm Bill) was signed by President Trump effectuating hemp being removed from the Federal Controlled Substance Act (CSA). Stem will cultivate hemp using a specific and proprietary CBD plant made popular by Oregon’s historic cannabis company and Stem affiliate, TJ’s Gardens. Acknowledged as the Pacific Northwest’s premier cannabis cultivator, TJ’s Gardens is recognized for their incredible CBD-rich flower strain that has provided important wellness benefits to many patients forming part of the Forrest Initiative for nearly a decade now. Stem also received approval to manufacture hemp in Oregon. Therefore, in addition to cultivating high-CBD hemp flower, customers looking to purchase hemp products will also have access to the Dose-ology brand, which will produce full spectrum, CBD-rich tinctures and vaporizers. Stem will also be releasing a variety of edibles, including gummies, caramels, and chocolates, to the hemp CBD market in 2019.
