What is Medical Cannabis and How is it Different from Industrial Hemp?<\/h2>

Medical cannabis is a type of plant that contains compounds called cannabinoids. The main cannabinoid in cannabis plants is CBD (short for CBD<\/strong><\/span><\/a>). The cannabis plant family includes both hemp and marijuana. <\/span><\/p>

Marijuana produces a large amount of THC during its growth, which is responsible for the “high” feeling. On the other hand, hemp contains very low levels of THC, which is why it is used as the raw material for CBD oil.<\/span><\/p>

What is Hemp?<\/h2>

According to farming laws in the United States, any cannabis plant with a dry THC content of less than 0.2% is considered hemp. Plants with higher THC concentrations are known as marijuana or medical cannabis.<\/span><\/p>

Therefore, the main source of cannabis oil<\/a><\/strong><\/span> is legally cultivable industrial hemp. <\/span><\/p>

According to U.S. law, hemp extracts are not required to be free of THC, but since even low concentrations of THC can cause mild intoxication, THC-free broad-spectrum CBD products are more popular.<\/span><\/p>

In our online shop, we only offer high-quality CBD oils that are THC-free. <\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Medical Cannabis Oil<\/h2>

CBD oil can also be made from marijuana plants. These products have high levels of THC and can only be used for medical purposes. <\/span><\/p>

Legally cultivated marijuana plantations are subject to strict regulations and are much more expensive than farms that cultivate industrial hemp.<\/span><\/p>

The THC-free extract can be safely marketed as CBD oil, but it cannot be called hemp oil since it was extracted from marijuana plants.<\/span><\/p>

Effects of Medical Cannabis<\/h3>

Medical cannabis is a plant-based medicinal product used for symptom relief or disease treatment. It is a clinically tested tincture made from pure cannabinoids.<\/span><\/p>

Choose THC-Free CBD Products Instead of Ordering Medical Cannabis<\/h3>

Since medical cannabis with THC can only be used under medical supervision due to it’s intoxicating effects, it cannot be obtained without a prescription.<\/span><\/p>
