- giancarlostoro 7y agoGot any links on that? I've read that hemp crops has been known to remove THC from cannabis, course I need to figure out where I read that from too.
- amphibian87 7y agoI've heard they grow the same strains but harvest very early. Additionally, there are strains that have been bred to only have CBD. So both are correct.
- gdubs 7y agoSure: https://phys.org/news/2019-02-hemp-marijuana.html https://phys.org/news/2019-02-hemp-marijuana.html There are some questions around whether the “entourage effect” is beneficial with CBD. In other words, does the presence of THC and various other compounds make CBD oil more effective for x or y (vs pure isolates of just CBD). But “industrial hemp” really just means cannabis with a THC content below a federally determined guideline. And that’s why it needs to be tested for being “hot”. Many people lose their crops because they test hot and find themselves with smokable weed.
- giancarlostoro 7y agoInteresting, I hadn't heard of this before.
