Foreseeable future yes, near future no I'm afraid. EU regulations require monitoring of every one of our plants which works for GMO's in fields (but is costly!) but is untenable for a consumer product. I'm optimistic the rules will change one day!


Do mean that EU regulations require you to monitor the plants once you sell them? Possibly to prevent an enterprising young man from planting 1,000s of these in the woods behind his house in order to have the coolest rave ever?


That's exactly what they require unfortunately. You have to know where they are planted and monitor the other plants in the area around them, obviously impossible for a consumer product!
