Isn’t hemp just the fibrous part of the cannabis plant?

“Isn’t hemp just the fibrous part of the cannabis plant?”

It is more like a cousin, I believe. Hemp cannot (legally) contain more than a minute percentage of delta 9 thc. This skirts weed laws, as they are written to specify delta 9 as the illegal agent. Variations of delta 8 have recently been synthesized and are sold in a legally gray area. 8 and 9 are not the same.

No it is a different variety. Hemp won’t get you high.

Hemp, at least those used for fiber, are a different strain or the cannabis plant. It’s a plant that does not have high THC content or big buds.

If you’ve ever seen a hemp farm there are lots of signs that say-in essence—“Please don’t come in and steal the plants…they aren’t gonna get you high.”
