What TF is Hemp?

As of December 2018, the United States government officially legalized hemp derived products, including CBD oil and other hemp extracts. This is a significant shift in the legal landscape surrounding these products, and it opens up new opportunities for consumers to explore the benefits of hemp without fear of legal repercussions.


If you're curious about what this means for you as a consumer, you're in the right place. In this blog post, we'll explore the basics of hemp, its legal status, and what you should know before purchasing any hemp-derived products.



What is hemp?

Hemp is a variety of the Cannabis sativa plant species, and it's been used for thousands of years for a wide range of purposes. Historically, it's been used to make paper, textiles, and other materials, and it's also been used for medicinal purposes in some cultures.

Hemp is different from Cannabis in that it contains very low levels of THC. In fact, hemp plants typically contain less than 0.3% THC, but can pack a lot of THCA. To learn more about THCA read our upcoming blog: What TF is THCA coming next Friday.


Why is hemp now legal?


The legalization of hemp derived products in the United States is the result of the 2018 Farm Bill, which was signed into law in December of that year. The bill removed hemp from the list of controlled substances, effectively making it legal to grow, cultivate, and sell hemp and hemp-derived products.

This is a significant shift in the legal landscape surrounding hemp, as it was previously illegal to grow and cultivate this plant in most states. This change has opened up new opportunities for farmers, entrepreneurs, and consumers alike, and it's likely that we'll see a surge in demand for hemp-derived products in the coming years.


What should you know before purchasing hemp-derived products?

If you're considering purchasing any hemp-derived products, there are a few things you should keep in mind to ensure that you're getting a high-quality product that meets your needs. Here are some tips to keep in mind:


1. Look for products that are third-party tested. This means that an independent laboratory has verified the quality and purity of the product, and can provide you with a report detailing the levels of cannabinoids and other compounds present in the product.

2. Choose products that are made from organic hemp. This ensures that the hemp was grown without the use of harmful pesticides or other chemicals, which can be harmful to both the environment and your health.


3. Be aware of the dosage and concentration of cannabinoids in the product. Different products may contain different levels of cannabinoids, so it's important to choose a product that meets your specific needs and preferences.

4. Consider consulting with a healthcare professional before using any hemp-derived products, especially if you have any underlying health conditions or are currently taking medication.

In conclusion, the legalization of hemp derived products in the United States is a positive development for consumers who are interested in exploring the potential benefits of hemp. By following these tips and doing your research, you can find high-quality hemp-derived products that meet your needs and help you achieve your wellness goals.
