- Hemp vs. Marijuana
- If the concentration of the cannabis material is over 0.3 WT% it is considered marijuana. If the concentration of the cabbages material is under 0.3 WT% it is considered hemp.
- Marijuana is used for medicinal uses such as a pain reliever for cancer patiences. Also, many other cannabinoids are used for joint pain and other treatments.
- Hemp's primary function is for using its plant material for thread to make T-Shirts, rope, textiles, and many other uses.
- If the concentration of the cannabis material is over 0.3 WT% it is considered marijuana. If the concentration of the cabbages material is under 0.3 WT% it is considered hemp.
- Growing Hemp Material
