The creators of a UK report on hemp that has received criticism from the industry told CBD-Intel they stand by their estimates, but it remains unclear where some of the numbers have come from.
The Plan for a Legal and Regulated UK Hemp and Cannabis Sector released earlier this year by the All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on CBD Products would, if implemented, “future-proof the UK farming industry, boost technological innovation and domestic manufacturing, create more than 594,000 new jobs and contribute over £5.5bn in annual tax revenue”, according to its promoters.
