Dear member

This issue is just going to the printers ahead of CannaTrade 2022. I'm excited to see how this trade show turns out: After two fancy annuals, once again see who's there (still or new), what the mood is….

The CBD market has been through some turbulence, the facilitation of medical hemp is not a huge step, the parliamentary initiative is not exactly moving at turbo speed and most pilot projects seem to be delayed.

Sure, things are moving forward somehow. Repression numbers are dropping, which might indicate some rethinking. But there's no sign of a quick liberating blow. The only thing to do is to keep at it, explain the legal situation and help the victims of repression.

Or do you have an idea how we can accelerate this social change towards decriminalization? Feel free to write me an email or call me if you have a plan!

Hemp greetings from the secretary Sven Schendekehl
