CBD (cannabidiol) oil and hemp oil are
both low in THC (delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol), but the
difference in the amount of CBD these products contain is high.
Hemp oil usually has about 3 to 5 percent of CBD, while cannabis
CBD oil has about 18 to 20 percent. It is the higher
concentration that makes cannabis CBD beneficial in the
treatment of various health disorders.
Hemp oil based CBD products do not contain enough of the
compound to be considered much more than a health supplement.
These are the products found in health food and other stores and
legal in all 50 states.
Consider hemp oil-based CBD as a vitamin grade and Cannabis CBD
as pharmaceutical grade.
Incidentally, Hemp
CBD is regulated by the FDA as a dietary supplement, and like
other dietary supplements the FDA is “not authorized to review
dietary supplement products for safety and effectiveness
before they are marketed.”
Hemp and marijuana
are both Cannabis. Hemp is Cannabis sativa, and marijuana is
either Cannabis sativa or Cannabis indica. Hemp is the common
and legal term for cannabis that contains less than .3% THC.
Marijuana is the common and legal term for cannabis that
contains .3% and more THC.
