Is hemp legal in the UK?
In the UK today, hemp can be legally grown for commercial purposes provided the farmer or grower receives a special licence from the home office, but this licence only applies to the seeds, fribre and stalk. Growers are also only able to cultivate hemp varieties that contain lower than 0.2% THC. This is because cannabis (or more specifically, cannabis plants that contain more than 0.2%THC) is still considered a class B drug.
