MD of European Hemp Association speaks out
A spokesperson for a European consortium on hemp has branded Manx legislation on the crop 'stupid'.
Managing Director of the European Industrial Hemp Association Michael Carus, believes there is a 'strange logic' in being able to buy hemp-derived products on Island whilst law forbids growers from cultivating it.
Speaking to Manx Radio via skype from his home in Germany, Dr. Carus said the current regulations on hemp are down to misinformed politicians:
Motorists urged to find alternative route home following crash
Mountain Road could be closed until 11pm
Car tax demand at vehicle testing centre 'causing a few problems'
Infrastructure minister admits the change has presented some challenges
Reinstating horse tram tracks will cost almost £2 million
Chief engineer tells Manx Radio 'no major problem' with business case
