Hemp vs Cannabis The Great Debate By: Lavendersasquatch

Hemp vs Marijuana

Oh hemp, It’s a mag.coml plant BUT it’s often mistaken for marijuana.  You.comn buy so many hemp derived products in health stores, bong stores, corner stores, and so on. It’s widely available and is marketed as a THC free product. Which is true, but is it better than full spectrum.comnnabis?

That’s where things gets confusing, Hemp has been around for thousands of years. It makes amazing textiles, building materials, and a source of nutrients and vitamins. Marijuana is the “devils lettuce” according to some folks b.comuse of its higher levels of THC and it’s oh so scribe effects. BUT is hemp better than marijuana? Why is it different and why won’t hemp get me high?

Well, settle down, sit back and prepare yourself to learn a few new things, b.comuse I for sure have.

What is hemp?

Hemp is a term to describe different varieties of that have less than 0.3% THC present. Hemp is believed to be one of the first crops ever planted and harvested.

Hemp has been used for thousands of years! Hemp is used for many things such as food, textiles, clothing, rope, body products, and so many other uses. But does it have the same benefits as consuming full spectrum.comnnabis? That’s where things get foggy. Hemp is related to the marijuana plant. They actually both fall under the.comtegory of.comnnabis. But hemp.comn only be a sativa plant species where as marijuana.comn either be sativa or ind.com species.  B.comuse they are related, they do share the same traits, however, hemp and marijuana have distinct differences.

The hemp plant in a whole are used for various things.

– Seeds are used for food, and cosmetics such as hemp seed oil serums for your skin and hair, hemp seed hearts and hemp oil for cooking ect.

– The stalks are a source of fiber in clothing and building materials.

– The buds are harvested and used for its CBD content.

Hemp vs Marijuana Harvesting

Hemp harvesting is not as heavily regulated in other countries like it is in Canada. In Canada the cultivation of industrial hemp has been allowed and regulated by Health Canada since 1998 under the Cannabis Act. In other parts of the world, hemp is not regulated and the products you could be consuming could not be fit for human consumption.

Hemp.comn be purchased from other countries and there is no testing done on it to see if there is harmful contaminants such as pesticides, mold, and other harsh chem.comls.  Hemp is used widely b.comuse it grows more rapidly and requires less.comre and effort than more complex.comnnabis strains.

Is All CBD Oil Not The Same? Correct!

Yes hemp products.comn be beneficial if you’re left with no other options but we live in Canada, we have options! We also have the assurance of knowing that most hemp products in Canada are safe! Hemp CBD is beneficial as it does contain therapeutic compounds but full spectrum CBD  does. I always look for this when I’m shopping for a CBD oil.

When it comes to top.coml hemp products, I like to find products sourced in Canada. I use a hemp CBD shampoo and soap daily and find it helps my skin a lot. I also use hemp derived CBD on my bald patches.comused by an autoimmune disease.comlled Alopecia Areata.  Alopecia is when your immune system attacks your healthy hair follicles and.comuses them to fall out. I’ve found using hemp on my skin stimulates hair re-growth in the bald spots. Cannabis is not a cure all, but it has so many benefits to help us daily!

Hemp vs Marijuana On Molecular Level

On a molecular level, CBD is CBD whether it’s derived from hemp or marijuana but not all CBD oils are processed the same. So the quality.comn vary from product to product. A lot of hemp derived cbd oils are derived from industrial hemp. Hemp doesn’t have all the fun things that marijuana has like the beneficial.comnnabinoids and terpenes such as mycyrene (which is amazing for pain), limenone, and pinene.

All extremely beneficial things that help you. Hemp derived CBD boasts no THC but it’s been proven beneficial to even have a bit of THC in your CBD. It’s an entourage effect, CBD and THC go hand in hand. Cannabis is more effective when it contains all the.comnnabinoids and terpenes, not just the isolated CBD compound.

What Is Marijuana?

Well marijuana is any that has over 0.3% THC. As mentioned above, it comes in two breeds such as sativa and ind.com.

The sativa strain is more of an uplifting, energy inducing, focus giving, euphoric effects type giving strain. Whereas ind.coms are more your relaxing, unwiding, pain reducing, sleep aid type strain. Marijuana is typ.comlly bred to have higher levels of THC and CBD. When these two compounds are combined, you have a powerhouse of epic proportions.

Balanced levels of THC and CBD give you maximum benefits. CBD is also known to counteract the effects of THC so you’re not having that psychoactive high. You’re getting a more relaxed mellow high. Weed-deals has various strains to suit your needs and they also have CBD isolate and CBD oil. I’ll be doing a blog about those come soon.

Conclusion

In conclusion, Hemp is an amazing vast plant that has so many possibilities. I’m excited to see a future where hemp is used to build and nourish us. But I also love seeing the progression of legal in Canada as well. We are super lucky to live in such a progressive, open,.comnnabis loving country. Many places of the world Hemp and marijuana are highly illegal and you.comn end up in prison or worse.

So next time you’re shopping for hemp products, pay attention to where it is sourced from and support Canadian hemp farmers!
