We’re reaching out to share an important update on Nova Hemp’s legal case with the Commonwealth of Virginia. After extensive discussions, both parties have agreed to dismiss the Northern Virginia Hemp and Agriculture vs. Commonwealth of Virginia case without prejudice. Below, we’ll explain what this means and how it impacts you.

Key Takeaways

Case Dismissed Without Prejudice

The dismissal allows the case to be refiled in the future if new circumstances arise that warrant further legal action.

Reassurance for Licensed Hemp Businesses

The State of Virginia, alongside federal authorities, has reaffirmed that hemp processors, growers, and dealers operating within federal law will not face prosecution or criminalization. Additionally, Virginia cannot impede the shipment or movement of hemp through the state.

Preparedness for Future Legal Challenges

Should Nova Hemp face further disruptions or attempts at criminalization, we are fully prepared to reopen the case. With additional evidence, we will pursue a vigorous legal discovery process to safeguard our rights and yours.

Support from Broader Industry Cases

The ongoing hemp appeal in Arkansas could provide critical support for the industry as a whole. A favorable ruling there may allow Nova Hemp to align with the case, amplifying its impact across state lines.

Maryland’s Pro-Hemp Protections

The Supreme Court of Maryland recently declined to hear a case concerning anti-monopoly law violations, leaving an injunction that protects hemp businesses firmly in place. This decision underscores Maryland's commitment to safeguarding the operations of the hemp industry.

Our Commitment to You

At Nova Hemp, we remain steadfast in our dedication to the hemp industry and your right to access products that support your needs and values. Unlike Virginia’s restrictive 25:1 THC-to-CBD ratio requirement—which we believe undermines consumer safety and choice—we prioritize transparency, quality, and trust in every product we offer.

Thank You for Standing with Us

We’re sincerely grateful for your continued support as we work to protect and grow an industry that values fairness, innovation, and accessibility. Together, we’ll keep fighting to ensure the hemp industry thrives and remains a space for freedom of choice and opportunity.

Warm regards,
The Nova Hemp Team
