Vancouver, British Columbia: HEMP FOR HEALTH INC. (CSE:HFH) (FSE:9HH) (the 'Company' or 'HFH'), a cultivator and distributor of premium CBD products in Italy and other European countries, provides its shareholders with this update on operations and the current outlook in Italy.

The Company has completed the hemp harvest for the 2020 growing season. The hemp biomass and flowers are currently being cleaned, dried and then weighed while samples have been sent to two separate laboratories for analysis of CBD, CBG and THC. The results will be issued in a press release shortly.

'We'd like to thank our farm hands and everyone who made the 2020 harvest possible with their hard work,' reported Robert Eadie, CEO and President of the Company.

On a regulatory front, Italy faces a predicament in its government policies towards the oral use of CBD. One ministry (Italy's Customs and Monopoly Agency) is classifying CBD as a narcotic, with officials simultaneously banning the compound from the Italian market and requiring that authorization be obtained from the Italian Medicines Agency to produce CBD for oral use. Another ministry (the Ministry of Agriculture) has issued its decree, listing hemp flowers for 'extraction uses' as an agricultural product, and not a drug.

This is being orchestrated while several countries in the European Union make way for Epidiolex, a purified drug substance containing CBD which has already been legalized in the United States.

'There are significant cracks in the logic of the Italian government's position right now,' stated Hemp for Health's CEO and President, Robert Eadie. 'This recent move can only stifle small businesses, entrepreneurs and farmers in Italy and directly contradicts the EU's guidelines for the oral use of CBD.'

The Company can still grow and sell hemp in Italy. Together with its distributors and partners outside of Italy, Hemp for Health will pursue all avenues to clear the pathway to rollout its products in Europe and other international markets.
