Lidl's supplier, a startup called The Botanicals, has grown the hemp flowers exclusively in northeastern Switzerland in partially automated greenhouses and specially designed indoor facilities.

The products are supposed to be high in cannabidiol (CBD), a naturally occurring chemical in cannabis and hemp plants.

A 1.5g box, from plants grown indoors, costs 17.99 Swiss francs (£13.20). A 3g bag will set you back 19.99 Swiss francs.

You can go on a Hemp farm tour in Meath I think, also a chap I know has acres of it growing in the west. There selling CBD oil in a lot of the vape shops as well now.
CBD can't get you high. If you want the real thing you've to the garden shop and get the seeds it's perfectly legal to buy them just not to grow them.
Plenty of Irish cbd shops as well https://www.organico.ie/miscellaneous/cbd-oil

you need a licence.

A licence for the cultivation of certain varieties of hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) for fibre use will only be granted by the Minister for Health and Children under the above Acts, to persons who are entitled to and intend making application to the Department of Agriculture and Food for a subsidy under the EU Aid Scheme for the production of hemp under Council Regulation (EC) No. 1251/1999 (as amended) and who occupy and farm not less than 3 hectares (7.4 acres) of utilised agricultural land (including rough grazing, commanage and/or mountain grazing).

The lidl stuff is ~5 times stronger in THC.

plenty sources in uk that will do medical, but that's off topic.

as other person said you can plant entire field with regular hemp, its placebo or like st johns wart at best in comparison without thc.

vape shops sell now up to 15% cbt oils if your that interested, but otherwise dont see a bargain here and it would be same old debate in AH forever as these topics go.

license yes if your going to extract or sell otherwise it would test below or none existent for thc and that would be end of story.
