Industrial Hemp is the commonly used term for high-growing varieties of the Cannabis sativa plant and its products, which include fiber, oil, and seed. Hemp is refined into products such as hemp seed foods, hemp oil, wax, resin, rope, cloth, pulp, paper, and fuel.
Other variants of the plant Cannabis sativa are widely used as a drug, commonly known as marijuana. These variants are typically low-growing and have higher content of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC).
The international threshold standard for Industrial Hemp is 0.3% THC or less. This is a trace amount of the psychoactive substance which cannot produce a "high" as would with smoking or ingesting marijuana.
Hemp cultivars of Cannabis Sativa are scientifically different and Hemp needs to be separated from the definition of marijuana.
