Scientifically, industrial hemp and
marijuana are the same plant, with a genus and species name of
Cannabis sativa. They have a unique genetic profile, however.
Typically, industrial hemp is very fibrous with long strong stalks
and few flowering buds. Marijuana plants are typically smaller,
bushier, and full of flowering buds. However, newer industrial hemp
varieties in the USA are being bred to have more flowers and higher
yields of cannabinoids and terpenes, such as the Kentucky and
Colorado hemp we’re now using! Most of the time, marijuana has a
high amount of THC and a very low amount of CBD. Hemp, on the other
hand, naturally has higher amounts of CBD (in most instances) and
only trace amounts of THC. Fortunately, the cannabinoid profile of
hemp is ideal for people looking for benefits from cannabis without
the ‘high.’ Historically, hemp has been used to make food products,
fiber, rope, paper, bricks, oil, natural plastic, and so much more.
In the US, marijuana is usually used both recreationally and
medicinally. The term “cannabis oil” can refer to either a marijuana
or hemp-derived oil, since marijuana and hemp are two different
forms of cannabis. All Pure Kana CBD oils are derived from hemp.
