Cannabis vs. Hemp

Cannabis or marijuana are the common names for the plants that produce high amounts of THC.

Hemp is actually the same species, the only difference is Hemp is a low-THC producing variety of Cannabis Sativa grown for industrial use. It looks the same, smells the same, but the important thing is it has been bred to produce less THC than its marijuana cousins.

The 2014 US Farm Bill defined hemp as “the plant Cannabis Sativa and any part of the plant with a THC concentration of not more than 0.3% on a dry weight basis”
