Myth busting about Hemp with Chris Allen

Chris Allen holds a Masters Degree from Trinity College, Dublin and worked as a researcher in social policy before joining Hemp Federation Ireland in 2018. Chris represents the views and shared interests of Irish hemp industry professionals across government departments and agencies at national and EU level where her extensive knowledge of regulation frameworks has played a key role in safeguarding the future of the Irish industry.

Since her arrival in 2018, the expertise of HFI’s internal advisory board is underpinned by targeted research to deliver strong, responsive leadership and accurate, evidence-based policy and regulatory advice. Hemp Federation Ireland now proudly represents Ireland’s most successful and innovative new CBD companies as well as the vast majority of the country’s oldest and most prestigious hemp farms and businesses.

Hemp is an agricultural crop with extraordinary environmental and nutritional health benefits, it is a vegetable that contains a tiny trace amount of THC (0.2%) just as poppy seeds contain trace amounts of morphine. And, just as poppy seed is not a dangerous drug, hemp foods and any other products made from hemp are also not.

A very important conversation needs to happen in Ireland, it needs to be allowed to happen now and it needs to involve the whole of Ireland.

Since 2018, and without anything approaching a scientific justification for its actions, the Irish state has, through its Departments and agencies, systematically changed almost every rule and regulation governing the Irish hemp industry so as to transfer it out of the hands of farmers – all of which was done without any consultation whatsoever with Irish industry stakeholders!

Hemp Federation Ireland whose members include some of Europe’s foremost industry experts again calls for the immediate withdrawal of the FSAI Market Survey Report, if the report is not withdrawn then an urgent critical review by a competent independent body is required because the substance of that report does not provide, by even the most rudimentary of measures, a scientific basis for the actions it is currently being used to justify.
