Last year, Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey signed legislation making it legal to cultivate hemp in the state.
Under the law, Friday was the first day the Arizona Department of Agriculture could issue licenses for industrial hemp farmers.
At 9 a.m. Friday, Arizona Hemp Consultants was granted the state’s first hemp license.
The Tempe-based company provides consulting services for hemp growers, processors and investors, from seed to product sales.
