Hemp is a strain of the cannabis plant that is grown specifically for its industrial and agricultural uses. Unlike marijuana, which contains high levels of THC, the psychoactive compound that produces a high, hemp contains very low levels of THC (less than 0.3%). Instead, hemp is rich in other beneficial compounds, such as cannabidiol (CBD), which is believed to have a range of potential health benefits. Hemp is used to make a variety of products, including textiles, paper, building materials, food products, and supplements.

Delta-8 is a minor cannabinoid found in the cannabis plant. It is chemically similar to delta-9 THC, the primary psychoactive compound in cannabis, but is less potent and produces a more mild high. Delta-8 is believed to have a range of potential therapeutic benefits, including pain relief, anxiety reduction, and anti-inflammatory properties. Delta-8 is legal under federal law, but some states have banned it or placed restrictions on its sale and use.

Delta-9 THC is the primary psychoactive compound found in the cannabis plant. It produces the "high" that is associated with cannabis use. Delta-9 is illegal under federal law, but some states have legalized it for medical or recreational use. Delta-9 is believed to have a range of potential therapeutic benefits, including pain relief, nausea reduction, and appetite stimulation.

Yes, hemp is legal under federal law. The 2018 Farm Bill legalized the production and sale of hemp and hemp-derived products, as long as they contain less than 0.3% THC. This means that products made from hemp, such as CBD oil and hemp fiber textiles, can be legally sold and consumed in the United States.
