Understanding Hempwort (Cannabis sativa): Low THC, High Nutrition

Hempwort (Cannabis sativa) is a plant that has been used for thousands of years for its fiber, seeds, and medicinal properties. It is a variety of the Cannabis plant that contains very low levels of THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), the psychoactive compound found in marijuana. Hempwort is also known as industrial hemp.

Hempwort is grown specifically for its seeds, which are rich in healthy fats and protein, and its fiber, which can be used to make a variety of products such as paper, textiles, and building materials. Hempwort is also used in the production of CBD oil, which is a non-psychoactive compound that has been shown to have a number of potential health benefits.

Hempwort is legal to grow and use in many countries, including the United States, Canada, and Europe, as long as it contains less than 0.3% THC. It is often confused with marijuana, but hempwort is a distinct variety of the Cannabis plant that is grown for its industrial and nutritional uses rather than its psychoactive properties.
