It cannot be right that farmers can grow hemp and then be forced to compost the most profitable parts; the flowers and leaf.

Hemp is currently classified as a drug and needs a licence to grow. This is so off putting to farmers that we barely grow 900 hectares of hemp.

Hemp contains some THC, and the % is subject to the weather, and this should be factored into rules limiting the allowable % of THC in hemp.
