What’s Blocking Industrial Hemp in the UK?


Listen Later

In this episode of the CTA Podcast, we unpack the unnecessary barriers holding back the UK’s industrial hemp sector. From outdated THC limits to restrictive Home Office licensing, we explore how fragmented policy and regulatory red tape are stifling innovation, sustainability, and rural development.

More importantly, we outline practical, evidence-based reforms the UK can implement now to unlock the true potential of this carbon-negative crop. If you’re in farming, construction, sustainability - or policymaking, this episode is essential listening. 

The Cannabis Trades Association is the UK’s largest and longest-standing membership organisation representing the cannabis and hemp industry.

We support businesses across the medicinal cannabis, CBD wellness, and industrial hemp sectors - championing regulation, innovation, and responsible growth.

These podcasts are part of our mission to inform, connect, and advocate for a safe, legal, and thriving cannabis industry. Whether you're a policymaker, professional, or simply curious about the sector, we’re here to share insights that matter.
