Although hemp and marijuana are both varieties of the Cannabis saliva plant, marijuana has a higher percentage of cannibinoids (THC). THC is the psychoactive component of the cannabis plant. 
Industrial hemp has only 0.3 per cent THC, whereas marijuana has 5 – 10 per cent. Industrial hemp is used to make hemp oil, so it does not have the psychoactive properties.
The seeds of industrial hemp make the best hemp oil, but the whole plant can be used to produce cold-pressed oil. This oil has a rich, nutty flavour and many Hemp Health Benefits, similarly to hemp seed hearts.
