Hemp Primer
Both hemp and its intoxicating variety marijuana are technically “cannabis,” however, the industry has come to strictly refer to marijuana as cannabis. Hemp is usually defined as varieties of the plant that contain less than 0.3% THC, which is the intoxicating chemical in marijuana.
It gets more confusing to learn that some hemp is bushy and looks like marijuana, but instead of THC, it is rich in CBD. CBD is a non-intoxicating chemical used to treat arthritis, seizures and other health conditions. Industrial hemp is tall and has fewer leaves, and often used for textiles, seeds for food, and even advanced materials. Countries that are concerned about CBD will often legalize industrial hemp before CBD-rich hemp, even though they are both harmless. The companies positioned in the beginning, often have greater privileges when states relax their laws and open new markets, such as medical cannabis.

Climate Change
When combined with regenerative farming practices, research shows industrial hemp.
Naturally repels pests and insects
Requires less water than traditional crops like corn and soy
Resilient enough to be grown in a wide temperature range
Reduces deforestation by providing alternative materials, such as hempcrete, which can be eligible for carbon credits
Absorbs more carbon (CO2) per acre than any forest or commercial crop
