Understanding Hemp and Marijuana
Hemp and marijuana are both varieties of the Cannabis plant but are defined by their THC content and intended uses. Hemp is defined by its low levels of THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), typically less than 0.3%, which makes it non-intoxicating and legal under the 2018 Farm Bill. Hemp is generally cultivated for higher percentages of CBD (cannabidiol), a compound known for its therapeutic benefits like reducing inflammation, anxiety, and pain, without the psychoactive "high" associated with THC. Marijuana, on the other hand, is defined by its higher levels of THC.
