Canada: Update on Industrial Hemp Production Trade and Regulation

The Canadian hemp sector continues to be driven by the food and nutrition markets, despite the 2018 regulatory changes that legalized recreational cannabis, and opened the potential for new markets for hemp-extracted cannabinoids. The production and distribution of cannabinoids and cannabinoid containing-products (including CBD) remain highly regulated, although Health Canada is considering a possible regulatory framework for cannabis health products (such as CBD-containing products) for humans and animals.
