Hemp and marijuana come from the same plant family, Cannabis sativa. The main difference between the two is their level of Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) – the federally illegal, psychotropic cannabinoid.

The 2018 Farm Bill, legalized hemp containing less than 0.3 percent THC.

Generally speaking, marijuana has a high amount of THC. Hemp, on the other hand, naturally contains only trace amounts of THC.

Hemp is ideal for those looking for benefits from cannabis without the ‘high.’ In the US, only hemp-derived oil is federally legal because it is extracted from industrial hemp containing less than 0.3 percent THC.

With a vast hemp marketplace, it’s imperative that you know and understand what the quality standards are of the products you are buying.

For high-quality hemp oil, you should look for hemp that is grown domestically. Most hemp grown on U.S. farms have limited exposure to pesticides and are subject to high quality controls which enables superior growth quality.

There are a few different options on where you can buy hemp oil. For example, you can purchase products online, at dispensaries, and even in some retail stores.

When you buy from dispensaries or retail stores, you often do not have access to the lab reports or purity analysis. This is due to the fact that external extractors do not need to share this information with the purchasing retailers.

We highly recommend buying your hemp oil directly from the source, as this will ensure you have access to the lab reports to ensure quality and have the assurance that the product you are getting is what you’re paying for.
