Hemp products for consumption...almost legal in Australia


Hello readers
There are some exciting reports about to be submitted to the Food Standards Australian New Zealand (FSANZ) regarding the consumption of hemp products! The two reports are supporting the sale of hemp products in Australia for consumption, here's the extract of the 'Conclusion' to Proposal P1042:
"In conclusion, the updated dietary exposure assessment for Proposal P1042 confirmed that, using the most up-to-date available food consumption data, no Australian and New Zealand population groups assessed were likely to exceed the TDI for THC at both the mean and 90th percentile of exposure, assuming the proposed MLs were in place. These estimates are based on conservative assumptions about the proportion of the food supply likely to contain low THC hemp seed food products and the concentration levels of THC in those foods, and therefore likely to be overestimates. Estimates of dietary exposure to CBD indicated that consumption of low THC hemp seed foods would not result in any Australian and New Zealand population groups assessed reaching the LOHTD for CBD of 2 mg/kg bw/day at the mean and 90th percentile of exposure. The maximum estimate of dietary exposure to CBD was <1% of the LOHTD, making even more conservative assumptions than those made for THC exposure calculations.
The amount of low THC hemp seed food that would need to be consumed to reach the LOHTD for CBD is many orders of magnitude higher than is realistically possible."


The proposal is due to be submitted 25th August with outcomes known by the end of 2016.

  1. Great Post! CBD is a safe, and very effective remedy for adults, your kids, and your pets as well.
