Dear Mariama,
Thanks for responding.
First may I address that I'm Mr, not Ms.
I take no offense though, my name is Welsh for Kevin, and it throw a lot of people off.
In the interests of transparency, I'm the founder of The Hemp Hound Agency, and I am working towards understanding a certain situations that exists.
I appreciate that the information I'm requesting might be sensitive, however, considering the names involved and their impact of the hemp and CBD industry, as well as the consumers they supply, I would very much request that all communicating remain through the Ask the EU site.
Yours sincerely,
Cefyn Jones
