HE'S GROWING SWEDEN'S FIRST HEMP CROP
Ulf Hammarsten in Skottorp is Sweden's first hemp farmer. In a couple of
weeks it is time for harvest. However, first the police will test the THC
level. It is prohibited to grow this plant in Sweden since hemp is
classified as a narcotic. But the prohibition violates EU rules of free
trade and Ulf's hemp has a very low level of THC.
"I have figured out that one has to smoke about 400 kilo to get stoned.
That's a joint the size of a street light," says Ulf Hammarsten to Aftonbladet.
