Hemp is often confused with the marijuana plant. Both come from the Cannabis plant family sativa l. , but from very different varieties. The THC content of the drug hemp plant is around 3% to 20%. However, the THC content of the fiber-bearing plant is lower than 0.03 % which means it is impossible to extract marijuana. In essence, the fiber plant has no drug value. Since the 1990' s, low narcotic hemp has been grown in Europe under the European Community law. |
