stems producing fibre and hurd for high and low tech uses , from hempcrete to plastics , paper and much more .
The seed is used for human food and industrial purposes . And the leaf and flowering tops have huge potential along with the nutritious seeds in the health and wellness markets .
Industry interprets the iHemp Regulations 2006 as enabling these industries , but this interpretation is not always shared by the regulator .
So we have some work to do before we have full plant utilisation and can make use of the revenue streams from all parts of the plant .
We need to be recognised as an arable crop , as we have little if any THC ( the controlled drug ), often less than 0.1 %
The 2006 regulations create and protect our industry , as Ministry of Health Officials issue licences to grow low THC iHemp and only iHemp can be made into hemp products , which can be legally sold .
The regulations are enabling legislation to allow us to build an industry , which we are all looking forward to .
80 years of prohibition means there is a massive amount of work required and many opportunities to be involved in developing tech , process and products that all have export potential .
If we are serious about creating a new billion dollar primary industry especially in horticulture , then iHemp is the answer . q
