The medicinal nature of Marijuana is gradually proving the forces against the use of weed wrong. The strong back up from scientific research has already made legislatures in States such as Arizona and some Nations to allow medical Marijuana. The demand for Marijuana products is rising all over the world especially because of its medicinal value. One issue that is continuing to cause more confusion among the new users is the difference between Hemp and CBD oil. Unclear reference and use of undefined terminologies by both manufacturers and marketers often leave the first buyers undecided on, whether the product they are getting is CBD or Hemp.

The common characteristic of CBD and Hemp oil is that they both have a medicinal effect. However, despite this one similarity, they still have a lot that differentiates them from each other. For instance, scientific studies have proved that CBD has many uses, especially in treating diseases. On the other hand, experiences show that Hemp is possibly one of the best food supplements and has enough supply of nutrients.

Differences in extraction of Hemp and CBD oil

CBD and Hemp oil come from similar species of plant but still, their contents are unique to each other.

• The first difference between CBD and Hemp oil is that they are not derived from the same part of the plant.CBD oil comes from the flowers of Marijuana and by various extraction techniques. It also has many medicinal effects. Some of the techniques used to extract CBD oil includes; the CO2 method which is costly but gives the best quality of the oil. The CO2 method does not use solvents hence giving clean oil. Alcohol extraction is another method used. Through Alcohol extraction, a high-proof solution pulls cannabinoid out of the plant matter. The only risk with this technique is that it can destroy other important molecules in the process.

 

• Hemp seed oil is reachedby pressing Marijuana Seeds to acquire the fatty oil. The oil from Marijuana seeds has no medicinal value, but it is highly nutritious and offers several benefits. The best method of getting Hemp oil is through a cold press. This method removes oil from the seeds without subjecting it to temperatures that go beyond the recommended level.

Chemical differences

• Technically, Hemp and Marijuana are the same species of plants. However, Cannabis sativa is a species of Marijuana bred to have a variety of cannabinoid, and this result in unique genetic formation with several uses. Marijuana has THC chemical which when smoked, vaporized or eaten will cause psychoactive effects.THC is the key reason the Marijuana was not authorized in most countries.

 

• It is not possible to get high from Hemp because of low levels of THC that cannot be felt no matter how much is, eaten or vaporized. Hemp is legal in many countries and has various industrial use such as the manufacture of fuel, paper, food, and fiber. The breeding of Hemp plant is usually aimed towards having extremely low levels of THC.
