“Florida’s state hemp program is leading the way in creating great jobs, safe and useful products, and a bright future for this new industry, says State Agriculture Commissioner Nikki Fried, a champion of the local cannabis industry. “In its first year alone, hemp in Florida has created an estimated $370 million economic impact, supported more than 9,000 jobs, and generated more than $17 million in federal, state, and local tax revenue.”
