We object to the current situation in South Africa where industrial hemp has stagnated within the realms of research. We believe industrial hemp should fall under the mandate of the Department of Agriculture and not the Department of Health where it currently resides.
Industrial hemp is not psychoactive, but can provide solutions to many of the challenges we currently face by way of job-creation, nutrition and sustainable housing without negatively impacting on the environment.
South Africa should take advantage of all that this wonder-plant has to offer.
