Food ministers reject advice on hemp in food

The Sydney Morning Herald
The nation's food ministers have rejected advice from Australia's food standards agency that hemp be allowed to be used in food.

Hemp is a species of cannabis, but unlike marijuana contains no or very low levels of the mind-altering chemical compound tetrahydrocannabinol (THC).

It is used in Australia in clothing and building products, but cannot be used in food.
