I’m far from an expert on Cannabis, but just how similar (taxonomy wise) are the two plants?

One is cannanis sativa. The other, known as hemp, is cannabis indiga.

Most believe that sativa is the only one able to get you high.

Most have also heard of, and/or smelled so-called 'skunk weed.' That's cannabis indiga. There are strains that have as much if not more THC than sativa.

So, when someone says you can't get high off hemp, they don't know what they're talking about.

The hemp stuff has been genetically engineered to have high CBD and low THC. I know in Canada you had to get it tested and certified.

Indica and Sativa, or any of the thousand cross breeds can get you high. But the stuff they grow for oil and rope are on the low side. You would have to smoke a lot of it. Most “pot people” know that. Stupid kids don’t.

C. indica gets you high. It’s C. ruderalis that’s hemp.

“One is cannanis sativa. The other, known as hemp, is cannabis indiga.”

first, it’s cannabis indica, NOT indaga

AND it’s doubtful if cannabis indica is a separate species, and even if it were, industrial hemp is a variety of cannabis sativa:
