Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Hemp Industry: Discussion

Mr. Michael Moloney:

Based on my opening statement, I do not think that can be done. It is an offence to cultivate, import or export product, or supply and possess cannabis, including hemp, except in accordance with a licence issued by the Minister for Health. That is what it says in those regulations. I am not an expert but I do not think that is possible.
