Industrial Hemp License

By definition, industrial hemp is cannabis that contains 0.3% tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) or less in the flowering heads and leaves and is grown outdoors for either its seed (oil production) or fibres (industrial and consumer products).

An Industrial Hemp Licence permits Canadian growers to grow low-THC cannabis for industrial use, under controlled circumstances.

It is important to note that not every activity that involves industrial hemp falls within the scope of the Industrial Hemp Regulations. A good example is the extraction of CBD or another phytocannabinoid from the flowering heads, leaves, and branches of the plant – this activity falls under the Cannabis Regulations and requires a Cannabis Processing Licence.

It is also important to note that hemp chaff (flowers, leaves and stems) can only be sold by Licensed hemp producers to Licensed cultivators, processors and sellers of cannabis under the Cannabis Act.

The following activities relate to industrial hemp:

Cultivation (including plant breeding/propagation)

Jacky Liu

Freelance Investor

I am a freelance investor. Over the years, the investment direction has been dedicated to real estate and the secondary market. In 2018, I began to notice the outstanding performance of the cannabis industry in the secondary market. The expertise of CanWis experts has been recognized by me both in the cannabis industry and in the investment field. At present, my investment in a project recommended by them is progressing smoothly, and I will continue to pursue investment at the right time.

Master Grower

Even as a master grower of tomato cultivation for many years, I firmly believe that special fields require special knowledge background. So when I entered the cannabis nursery industry, I wisely invited CanWis experts to give me some guidance on the first place. After 6 months, the implementation proved that I was right. There are many mythes in the cultivation of cannabis, such as the male and female plants. They also avoided many risks for me in the very beginning.

Lawrence Thompson

Hemp Grower

As a hemp grower, I understand the importance of seeds. The CBD content of the finished biomass determines my harvest reward, and more importantly, the THC content, otherwise the results means nothing.

The seeds purchased through the CanWis channel are currently growing vigorously. In the past period of time, we have monitored the curve of cannabinoids in plants every week, and all indicators are within the expected range, which is good.
