Greece Tightens Cannabis Product Regulations and Restricts CBD Composition

Greece has implemented stricter regulations on cannabis product commercialization, prohibiting the retail sale of dried cannabis flower and redefining which products can reach consumers.

These restrictions aim to ensure consumer safety and standardize the market for cannabis-derived compounds. The changes signal how European countries are developing differentiated regulatory frameworks for CBD and THC-containing products, which may influence policy discussions in other jurisdictions.

Study: Hemp Hurd Can Be Used to Strengthen Biodegradable Plastic

Researchers from South Korea's Korea Research Institute of Chemical Technology have developed an innovative method to strengthen biodegradable plastics using hemp hurd, an agricultural byproduct from industrial hemp stalks. By extracting cellulose from discarded hemp plant material traditionally used in textile production, scientists applied a specialized drying process that preserves the microfibrillar structure of the fibers. This breakthrough demonstrates a sustainable approach to creating stronger, eco-friendly plastic alternatives while reducing agricultural waste. The development could have significant environmental implications for reducing plastic pollution and promoting circular economy practices in manufacturing.
