Marijuana vs Hemp

and how they are widely misunderstood

Oftentimes, when we hear CBD or Hemp, we group them together in our heads as “weed”. Hemp and marijuana are very similar, in fact, they are both cannabis plants! The only difference is the percentage of THC found within each plant. In this article, we will be diving into the often confusing differences between these two cannabis plants. 

Marijuana

Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is the active component found in cannabis plants that results in that “high” feeling. Marijuana typically contains more THC, with a smaller focus on CBD. Therefore, it is most often sought after for the “natural high” experienced when it is consumed.

Percentage of THC is the determining factor (according to law) for the hemp and marijuana plant. According to the federal government, when a cannabis plant has a THC level of above 0.3% it is considered marijuna.

Hemp 

Unlike marijuana, hemp has very low amounts of THC (below 0.3%)

Hemp contains more CBD and probably won’t get you or your pet high. Because of its rich CBD contents, hemp is typically used for its therapeutic potential. In 2018, the Farm Bill was passed, meaning CBD products can now be sold online with restrictions. One of the major restrictions is the amount of THC.

 Conclusion

  Although the two plants are often mistaken as the same thing, it is evident that they are not. The key difference between the two is simply the THC content and the level of care that each plant requires. The major takeaway is that hemp provides the therapeutic benefit without the high.
