Mr. Marcus McCabe:

On the seed, absolutely key is on-farm infrastructure. Like any grain, it has to be taken off the field and dried immediately. It has to go straight onto a drying floor. If it does not go onto a drying floor, it will heat. Unless the farmer has the infrastructure - some sort of drying system - it will not work. I agree there is an enormous market for the seed.

Senator Boyhan mentioned alcohol and the THC issue. I touched on that earlier. There are clear parameters in terms of what is the acute reference dose. In other words, what is too much and what is a good amount because at micro-dosing, it is an excellent food. There is a huge CBD market and let us embrace that market. I would say that is somewhere in or around 10 to 20 mcg per kg body weight per day, not the 1 mcg per kg per day that we are stuck with at present.

In fact, our company is paying for research. There is a European Industrial Hemp Association. There is a multicompany research project into novel foods that is ongoing at present. What is interesting is that the full-spectrum products, in other words, the products that contain THC, are actually safer than the CBD isolates.

As with alcohol, what is it? We do not want anybody to be feeling any side effects. That is not in the interests of the industry. We want everybody to know what is safe. It is a labelling issue. It needs to be correctly and properly labelled. That is a sensible conversation that needs to be had.
