CULPEPER STARâEXPONENT
A Lignum hemp farmer will host the Virginia Cannabis Conference on Aug. 28 at Culpeper Countyâs own legal moonshine distillery, Belmont Farms.
Mike Sauer of Honey Hill Hemp in Culpeper is organizing the daylong, 21-and-older ticketed event to recognize the state law that makes recreational use of marijuana legal in Virginia, letting adults possess an ounce of it and grow up to four of their own plants. The event will run from 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Sauer also wants to share his hands-on knowledge about growing industrial hemp on a small farm off State Route 3 in eastern Culpeper County. Industrial hemp is cannabis, but lacks enough of the psychoactive compound THC to make someone âhigh.â Recreational marijuana is also cannabis, but with a higher THC level.

You must add your new plant varieties to the UK’s national lists if you want to market them. You could be prosecuted if you do not.
The national lists are maintained by the Plant Variety Rights and Seeds Office (
PVS), which is part of the Animal and Plant Health Agency (
APHA).
You’ll be asked if you want to continue marketing the variety every 10 years or your variety will be removed from the list.
