The main cannabinoid in cannabis plants is CBD (short for <a href=\"https:\/\/usamedical.com\/en\/\"><strong>CBD<\/strong><\/a>). The cannabis plant family includes both hemp and marijuana. <\/p>\n<p>Marijuana produces a large amount of THC during its growth, which is responsible for the &#8220;high&#8221; 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.<\/p>\n<h2>What is Hemp?<\/h2>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, the main source of <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/usamedical.com\/en\/termekkategoria\/cbd-termekek\/cbd-olaj\/\">cannabis oil<\/a><\/strong> is legally cultivable industrial hemp. <\/p>\n<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.<\/p>\n<p><strong>In our online shop, we only offer high-quality CBD oils that are THC-free. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"159\" height=\"159\" src=\"https:\/\/usamedical.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/blog_call_to_action_des2.jpg\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/usamedical.com\/en\/category\/cbd-products\/cbd-oil\/\">Ready to try CBD Oil?<\/a><\/h4>\n<p><a style=\"color: #3366ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/usamedical.com\/en\/category\/cbd-products\/cbd-oil\/\">Shop for CBD Oil here<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Medical Cannabis Oil<\/h2>\n<p>CBD oil can also be made from marijuana plants. These products have high levels of THC and can only be used for medical purposes. <\/p>\n<p>Legally cultivated marijuana plantations are subject to strict regulations and are much more expensive than farms that cultivate industrial hemp.<\/p>\n<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.<\/p>\n<h3>Effects of Medical Cannabis<\/h3>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<h3>Choose THC-Free CBD Products Instead of Ordering Medical Cannabis<\/h3>\n<p>Since medical cannabis with THC can only be used under medical supervision due to it&#8217;s intoxicating effects, it cannot be obtained without a prescription.<\/p>\n<h2><b>The Power of USA Medical CBD<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>USA Medical CBD provides safe, potent, THC-free and effective CBD products.
