industrial hemp
Non-psychoactive cannabis
Industrial hemp is cannabis cultivated for fiber, seeds, and oil rather than for its psychoactive properties.
Legal definitions typically require THC content below 0.3%, distinguishing it from marijuana.
The plant yields materials for textiles, paper, rope, building materials, and food products: The farm switched to industrial hemp after legalization.
Hemp cultivation, once common, was restricted for decades due to its botanical relationship to marijuana.
