What is the difference between hemp and cannabis?
Both Hemp and Marijuana are variants of the cannabis genus. CBD (cannabidiol) and THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) are the most recognized cannabinoid compounds that come from the cannabis sativa plant.

Marijuana is the opposite, being bred to maximize the THC percent. Cannabinoids compounds are processed in the body via the endocannabinoid system. Read more here.
