How can I grow hemp in South Africa?
Industrial Cannabis (aka Hemp) is as illegal as recreational Cannabis. This is due to the fact that it is the same plant that is selectively bred for certain specific traits (oil, fibre). South Africa’s Cannabis laws do not distinguish between Cannabis (Dagga) or Cannabis (Hemp) used for industrial purposes (food, fuel, fibre, etc). There have been trials conducted on the viability of Industrial Cannabis in South Africa but, despite these trials and the overwhelming success of ‘hemp’ as a cash crop in countries like China, Canada and France, nobody has campaigned for industrial uses of the plant to be made legal in South Africa.
We are aware that the Department of Agriculture are issueing hemp permits, but we are opposed to the licencing of God’s creation.
