213A - Cannabis seeds, vegetative plants and flowering tops (including leaves)

This group comprises cannabis viable seeds and vegetative plants and fresh and dried cannabis (buds and leaves), for non-medical (recreational, wellness, lifestyle, spiritual, etc.) and medical uses. A plant of the genus Cannabis refers generally to three varieties which are cannabis Sativa, cannabis Indica and cannabis Ruderalis. Sativas and Indicas are the most commonly used cannabis strains for cultivation and propagation. The genetics of the different cannabis strains are widely mixed or cloned to create cannabis hybrids. Cannabis contains a number of active elements, including cannabinoids such as tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) or dronabinol, cannabidiol (CBD) and terpenes (aromatic compounds or chemical markers). Cannabis plants containing 0.3% w/w (weight for weight) of THC or less in the flowering tops and leaves - industrial hemp - and their derivatives with the THC concentration of 10 µg/g or less, as well as prescription drugs or pharmaceuticals containing cannabis, are excluded from this group.

21311 - Cannabis seeds and vegetative plants

Cannabis seeds and vegetative plants are commonly from three varieties which are cannabis Sativa, cannabis Indica and cannabis Ruderalis.
