What’s the difference between Hemp and Cannabis/Marijuana?

It is a common misconception that marijuana and hemp are two different species of plant. Basically cannabis plants contain more THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), a compound that causes the ‘high’ that people associate with cannabis use and hemp plants generally contain more CBD.

The term “hemp” contains 0.3 percent or less THC content by dry weight. Small proposed the 0.3 percent rule as a possible solution, but he himself acknowledged that it’s an arbitrary number.

The term “marijuana” is used interchangeably with “weed” and a number of other terms.

Cannabis refers to the plants of the species Cannabis Sativa L. Within the species there are three types of cannabis plant, Cannabis Sativa, Cannabis Indica, Cannabis Ruderalis. Each of the species has different qualities and characteristics and are therefore have different effects and outcomes on individuals

And another marijuana refers to cannabis that has more than 0.3 percent THC by dry weight. THC content can vary among cannabis plants. Some strains are bred to be higher in THC than others.
