A STATEMENT ON THE CONTINUED STALLING ON THE LEGALISATION OF HEMP FOR FOOD
The decision by the Federal Government today to continue stalling on the legalisation of industrial hemp for human consumption is spineless.
The fact is this is a lucrative and safe crop for human consumption, not something you can get high on and legal in just about every other country.
Instead of educating the community, the Government is pandering to naivety, some weird ideological bent and scaremongering by the police.
To claim that more time is needed to consider the matter is ludicrous. The human consumption of industrial hemp products has been investigated time and time again and is lawful in just about every other developed country.
