Hemp and Marijuana are two different types of the same plant. They look very much alike. The difference lies within the chemical composition of the plants. Marijuana gets its psychoactive characteristics because of a high level of THC (delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol), the authorised hemp only contains 0,3% of THC.

Farmers who are interested to cultivate hemp must know that the hemp seed must be certificated. The seed is strictly inspected. In Belgium it’s allowed to grow hemp after asking the permission to the department of agriculture of the Belgian government.

In a lot of countries hemp cultivation is still prohibited. In Europe, it’s Germany and France who plays the leading part in the adjustment of some surpassed laws.
