"Cannabis has been cultivated for thousands of years, serving as medicine, fiber, food, and ritual aid across civilizations. Today, it is undergoing one of the most profound renaissances in modern culture, science, and business. From hemp-based wellness products to potent high-THC concentrates, the cannabis spectrum is wide and often misunderstood. Understanding how hemp, CBD, THC, terpenes, and minor cannabinoids fit together is crucial for anyone exploring the plant-whether as a patient, a recreational user, or simply an informed consumer navigating a rapidly evolving marketplace."
"Hemp and cannabis are the same species- Cannabis sativa L. -but they have distinct uses and legal frameworks. Historically, hemp was cultivated primarily for its strong fibers, nutritious seeds, and therapeutic oils. Ancient civilizations used hemp ropes, textiles, and even food products. Hemp's low THC content (less than 0.3%) means it cannot induce intoxication, making it ideal for industrial applications and wellness products like CBD oils, tinctures, and topicals."
Cannabis has served as medicine, fiber, food, and ritual aid across civilizations and is now experiencing a modern renaissance in culture, science, and business. The plant spans a wide spectrum from hemp-based wellness products to high-THC concentrates, requiring understanding of hemp, CBD, THC, terpenes, and minor cannabinoids for informed use. Hemp and cannabis are the same species, Cannabis sativa L., yet differ in uses and legal status: hemp has low THC (<0.3%) and is suited to industrial and wellness products, while resinous cannabis flowers produce trichome-rich buds prized for psychoactive and therapeutic effects. The U.S. Farm Bill of 2018 marked a turning point by federally legalizing hemp.
