Canada’s hemp industry is welcoming changes to the cannabis law which now allows growers to harvest parts of the plant that previously went to waste.
As part of the new cannabis legislation, industrial hemp regulations have also been updated.
Health Canada announced in August that hemp growers could harvest the flowering heads, branches and leaves of the 2018 crop.
Farmers were only allowed to harvest hemp for seed and fibre, after the Industrial Hemp Regulations first came into effect in 1998.
