That is my experience as well, with many people asking about hemp. What we want to do is move beyond inquiring into delivery of the product. There has been a lot of emphasis on the Misuse of Drugs Act and how hemp fits in. If that Act was amended to allow up to a 0.3% content level, as per the European Court ruling, how would that work in practice? What difference would that make to running a farm? What difference would it make practically, if the processing facilities are still not in place?
