§ Mr. LuffTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what plans he has to re-examine the law on the(a) sale and (b) cultivation of cannabis seeds. [170146]
§ Caroline Flint[holding answer 5 May 2004]: None. The seeds are not controlled under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971 as they do not contain tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the main psychoactive ingredient in cannabis.
The cultivation of cannabis seeds, other than for purposes licensed by the Home Office, will remain illegal.
