Cannabis sativa L has a low level of THC or tetrahydrocannabinol, which is the psychoactive component found in cannabis used for medical or recreational use. By law, it must be less than 0.3% THC. At the same time, hemp has a very high level of CBD or cannabidiol, which has several benefits to a wide range of conditions from anxiety and neurological conditions to digestive problems. It can also be used to treat conditions of the skin.
