Out here in Colorado, the regulations permit the use of certain (very specifically identified) pesticides on hemp and cannabis crops (not necessarily the same for the two crops), require testing of agricultural (and derived) products for "residual" pesticides and place limits on the measured quantities. At some (many?) level(s) these regulations are analogous to those regarding other commonly consumed agricultural products.
For the curious the (extensive) regulations can be found at
https://www.sos.state.co.us/CCR/GenerateRulePdf.do?ruleVersionId™00
Much of the regs describe business practices (licensing, ownership, etc). Around p32 and shortly thereafter the talk begins to talk technical. Starting at p455 (!) hits for the search term "pesticides" begins to appear. We, in CO, have been cultivating (pun intended) these industries (hemp and cannabis) for a number of years and the legal framework shows it.
