Hemp Federation Ireland:
“The Irish Government and courts fail to understand that CBD products containing 0.2% THC are within European Food Safety Authority’s remit, are legal across the European Union and therefore cannot be banned in Ireland.”

1) An update folks & I'm going to tell it to you straight!

IMO the existing CBD industry is being targeted by an unknown force of agitation within Government, likely the Dept of Health.

On behalf of this mandate, Revenue Customs are now seizing literally anything they can. 2) Yesterday morning, our Galway Manager arrived to the office to find 3 Seizure letters.

Two weeks ago, with guidance from @HempFedIreland, we sent a lengthy email to TD's and councillors from every major party. It detailed in polite but not uncertain terms the current state of total disarray faced by our industry.

Consider the older generation of Ireland have for the large part, had very little exposure whatsoever to cannabinoids.

Their ECS has been lying dormant their whole lives. Until now.

Prior to the 1920's, consider livestock was fed hemp both here and abroad, but not anymore.

An Irish firm representing “blue chip” and “international” medicinal cannabis companies has lobbied government ministers and officials in a bid to establish Ireland as an “export centre” for Europe.

Green Leaf Agri, an Irish advisory company set up in October 2018 by Michael Power and Thomas Lynch, held in-person and virtual meetings with the Department of Health and the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment advocating for legislation to allow for the cultivation and export of

Ireland holds a special place in the hearts and imaginations of the outside world. For all its problems, we genuinely love this Country and its people. So it's with this in mind we here at Little Collins wish everyone a most genuine and enjoyable St. Patrick's Day ☘️🇮🇪💚 Of course my wife Íde has her own very Irish memories of this day, growing up here.

St. Patrick's Day in Melbourne was certainly not missed either! Let me tell you we're quite familiar with Irish music and the accompanying craic :-)
