FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HEMP AND CANNABIS ?
Although both plants are from the species cannabis, cannabis sativa (hemp) contains virtually no THC (delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol), the active ingredient in marijuana. Hemp cannot be used as a psychoactive drug because it produces virtually no THC (less than 0.3%), whereas marijuana produces between 5-20% THC. In the United States, Canada, and Europe, the level of THC in hemp is limited to .03% or three-tenths of one percent. Both are compounds found in the cannabis plant, but have different effects on the body. THC gets you high, while CBD is known to restore homeostasis in the body and delivery anti-inflammatory and other benefit.
