Hemp

Hemp is a versatile plant that can be used in many ways. Since it is no longer regulated under agricultural seed legislation in Switzerland, it can now be cultivated for medicinal and aromatic purposes. The Federal Office of Public Health (FOPH) is responsible for regulating the use of cannabis (narcotic hemp).
