The Swiss Hemp Trading Company is offering acreage to anyone who needs to grow cannabis. In Switzerland there is no restriction on growing cannabis as long as it is not to be locally marketed for recreational use. This allows cultivation for seed, pulp, fibre, and buds for medicinal or research purposes. The Swiss Hemp Co. is currently growing 25 varieties of cannabis, most THC active!
Swihtco offers a seasonal lease of .5 to 10 hectares, and local labour will be hired to cultivate your plants if you can't do it. Land is leased at 15,000 Swiss francs per hectare, which is a lot of money. On the other hand, you can grow a lot of THC-cannabis on a hectare.
Their address: 1000 Lausanne 9, Switzerland. Tel: 41-21-311-0656, Fax: 41-21-311-0664.
