Guest guest Posted July 31, 2006 Report Share Posted July 31, 2006 This is what I understand...hemp is harvested from the fiberous stalky stems (grown to a certain height) of the cannabis plant, before allowed to mature, flower and seed, which then becomes marijuana...all the potency goes to the top at maturity....:-). True? M.A. wwjd <jtwigg wrote: Hemp vs. Marijuana http://www.ontariohempalliance.org/info/p_hvsm.cfm Hemp is not marijuana. Although both hemp and marijuana are categorized as Cannabis Sativa, marijuana has an average potency of 5-15% THC (the chemical substance which gives marijuana its psychoactive properties) whereas hemp has less than 0.3%THC. At this concentration, hemp has no psychoactive properties.

Guest guest Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 Hemp is so misunderstood. It's actually a cousin of the marijuana plant, hemp is nonpsychoactive. The hemp nut seeds, hemp oil and butter are about one of the healthiest things you can consume. I have 2 fantastic cookbooks on hemp. The Hemp Cookbook by Todd Dalotto and The HempNut Health and Cookbook by Richard Rose. I eat hemp nut seeds daily.
