West Coast businesses thrilled NZ has legalised sale of hemp seeds as food
Hemp growers and food producers are celebrating news hemp seed can be sold for food.
The Government announced on Tuesday that hemp seed will be treated as just another edible seed.
West Coast farmers Sarah Gibson and Aaron Silcock, who grow hemp on their Reefton dairy farm, say they're pleased with the announcement, but the changes don't go far enough.
Westport's Emily Miazga, of Em's Power Cookies, is delighted by the announcement, saying not only is hemp a super food, it's also a "hugely environmentally sustainable plant".
"It is drought and weed resistant which means you can grow it with minimal water and chemicals and it pulls toxins out of the soil."
