Cannabis is popularly known as not only and addictive drug, but also an illegal substance in the whole of America and other countries in the world. However, there is a lot of confusion surrounding cannabidiol and hemp, which are closely associated with marijuana but doesn’t contain the psychoactive component that characterizes cannabis.

Other strains have less than 0.3 percent THC and more CBD, and they are referred to as hemp. Hemp has so many uses. Its fibers are used for medical purposes and in manufacturing.

 The amount of THC in marijuana is high to cause an addiction. For that reason, the possession, sale of marijuana is outlawed. In addition, hemp contains less concentration of THC and this doesn’t have psychoactive effect. Therefore, a person has a less chance of becoming addicted when using Hemp cannabidiol.
