Hemp Seed Research:

THC in Hemp Foods and Cosmetics: The Appropriate Risk Assessment by James Geiwitz, PhD. January 2001
"We conclude that a ban on hemp foods and cosmetics would be ill-advised policy based on a flawed review of the research literature. Rather than protecting the health of Canadians, such a ban would be damaging. We propose instead that current THC regulations be retained, and the health benefits of hemp foods and cosmetics be the topic of Health Canada reports on industrial hemp."
