The Czech Republic is actively developing business related to hemp

But at the same time other sectors associated with modern konoplevodstvom (food, cosmetics, Zoo business, textiles and knitwear) are in demand and production of products associated with these areas of hemp business is increasing annually.
Pharmacies Czech Republic for almost a year can quite legally buy medical cannabis, but optimistic forecasts for demand for such medicine were unjustified. According to data provided by the National Institute for the Control of drug trafficking, on a monthly basis, for the psychoactive cannabisom in pharmacies, where it is represented by drug treated 25 to 40 people and sales do not exceed 2 kilograms of therapeutic cannabis.
Even given the fact that the purchase of psychoactive cannabis held by pharmacists from local suppliers, whose price is per 1 gram of product almost CZK 100, which is three times cheaper than in Dutch companies, for most buyers is the cost is big enough deterrent.

There are already 14 cannabis pharmacies, which sell not only hemp cosmetics including gels, creams, and soaps, and hemp oil, seeds, ointments for cooking syrup, etc.
