A study published in 2022 in the Journal of Cannabis Research states that:

Food-grade h**p seed is harvested from industrial h**p plants with less than 1% (–)-trans-Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC).

The h**p seed is comprised of an outer hull which is high in dietary fibre and the heart (seed embryo) which is rich in protein and fats.

Whole h**p seeds are milled into h**p flour which is sequentially extracted to produce h**p oil and h**p protein concentrates/isolates which are used for food formulation.

Residues from these extractions, h**p seed cake and h**p seed meal, can also be used to fortify foods with antioxidants and dietary fibre.

Residue h**p plant biomass may also be a source of antioxidant compounds and short fibres for materials.

Mula 2014, sa ika-16 na Kongreso ng Kamara de Representante, nagkaroon na ng panukalang batas na naglalayong bigyang-akses ang mga pasyente sa medical cannabis.

Si Rep. Rodito Albano III ng Unang Distrito ng Isabela ang naging awtor ng panukala na pinamagatang House Bill 4477 o ang An Act Regulating the Medical Use of Cannabis, Establishing for the Purpose the Medical Cannabis Regulatory Authority and Appropriating Funds Therefor.

Ito ang kauna-unahang panukalang batas sa medicalcannabis na isinalang sa Kongreso.

Isinulong ito ng mga advocates o tagapagtaguyod ng medical cannabis sa Pilipinas, partikular ang Philippine Cannabis Compassion Society o PCCS (ngayon ay Cannahopefuls, Inc.) Tumampok ang mga bata na may mga seizure disorders na maaaring matulungan ng cannabis.

Kasama ang kanilang mga magulang, kinatok ng mga pasyente at tagapag-alaga ang mga pinto at puso ng mga mambabatas upang pumirma para sa panukalang batas para sa medical cannabis.

Bagama’t nakakalap ito ng 70 pirma ng mga co-awtor, hindi pumasa sa Committee on Health ang panukala.
