The University of Hawaii has received a
permit from federal Drug Enforcement Administration to import industrial
hemp seeds from Australia.
The seeds will be used for Hawaii’s Industrial Hemp Research Project, which was created via a state law in 2014.
“This project is just the first step in
establishing Hawaii as a leader in the growth and production of
industrial hemp and its products,” Rep. Cynthia Thielen (Kailua-Kaneohe
Bay) said in a press release Wednesday.
