Bureaucracy Hinders German Hemp Farmers too

 German Hemp Fields 1998 till now show only a 7% growth.  

Even After 25 Years of Hemp Production Bureaucracy STILL Hinders Germany HEMP Farmers

Meanwhile, bureaucratic challenges continue to hold back Germany’s hemp industry, key among them outdated narcotics laws that have led to confusion. 

Authorities have 

• raided hemp shops, 
• blocked the legal cross-border sale of imported flowers and 
• ordered some hemp foods off the market 

as the police and public prosecutors continue to interpret existing laws in a highly restrictive manner, sometimes failing to follow clear EU directives on hemp.
