CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) — Carson City is working on a policy for hemp growing as it continues to fight a lawsuit brought by a cultivator who wants to grow it on city open space land.

The suit involves Tahoe Hemp LLC's plans to grow hemp on city-owned open space known as Buzzy's Ranch. The city purchased the land from the Jarrad family in 2010 with a $2.8 million grant from the state.

The Nevada Appeal reports the city's latest claim says the Jarrad family breached the agreement by inviting Tahoe Hemp to cultivate hemp on the property. The Planning Commission will discuss a new hemp policy later this month.
