Hemp is marijuana or maybe it’s more accurate to say that marijuana is hemp. It’s the same plant but it doesn’t have as high of a THC content when it’s grown for fiber or seed. The fiber and sterilized seed has been legal to import to the U.S. for a long time if not always. But thanks to Fed law it can’t be grown here for those completely benign uses.
Kind of ironic, considering that it was one of the crops that George Washington grew on his farm.
