Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Hemp Industry: Discussion

Mr. Cara Mac Aodháin:

Under the CAP, the acceptable level of THC is currently set at 0.2% in the plan for crops that are eligible for the basic payment. In the next CAP, that is to be set at 0.3% THC. National misuse of drugs regulations are different across the different member states. There are different THC limits under misuse of drugs regulations, which are separate from the CAP.
