Thorough explanation of the difference between hemp, marijuana and cannabis! Introducing hemp-derived products and recipes for sweets!

Are you wondering, "What's the difference between hemp, marijuana, and cannabis?"

Words related to hemp, marijuana, and cannabis are niche, and you don't understand them.

Therefore, in this article, we will explain hemp, marijuana, and cannabis.

After reading this article, you will be able to use the words about hemp, marijuana, and cannabis correctly.

Explain hemp, marijuana and cannabis!

You often hear about hemp, marijuana, and cannabis, but you don't know how to distinguish between them.

So, I will explain the difference between hemp, marijuana and cannabis.

What is Cannabis

Cannabis is the English name for cannabis in Japan. So both hemp and marijuana are cannabis.

The name cannabis is an abbreviation that comes from Cannabis sativa L.
The scientific name is derived from the Greek ``Kannabis'' meaning ``tube'', ``Sativa'' meaning ``useful'' or ``cultivated'', and the last ``L'' in the scientific name is the name of Linnaeus. I'm taking the initials of (Linné).

What is hemp

Hemp is a type of cannabis that contains less than 0.3% THC (tetrahydrocannabinol). (* American standards)

Hemp has been used in Japan since ancient times, but after World War II, it became difficult to handle due to restrictions on growing areas.

Currently in Japan, hemp and marijuana are not differentiated based on their THC content, but can only be cultivated by those who receive annual approval from the governor of each prefecture.
Recently, hemp seed oil is also used as a raw material for fibers and industrial products.
Regarding fibers using hemp, it is described as "non-designated fiber (hemp)", so it would be interesting to check it once.

What is marijuana

Marijuana is a type of cannabis that contains more than 0.3% THC (tetrahydrocannabinol). (* American standards)

Therefore, some people think that the THC content is "a few percent at most".

However, some varieties of marijuana can contain more than 30% THC.

For example, Nova Aussie marijuana has an unusual concentration of 35.6% THC.

In addition, there are concerns that the word marijuana may have a discriminatory meaning because it comes from the Spanish word marihuana, which is used by Mexican immigrants in the United States.

There is a name other than hemp, marijuana, and cannabis! ? Introducing another name!

Besides hemp, marijuana and cannabis, there are other names such as "pot", "weed" and "ganja".

Pot is a slang that began to be used in the United States in the 1970s, and is still widely used in official documents.

Weed is a word that means weed and was first used in the United States in the 1980s.

Ganja is a Hindu word derived from Sanskrit, which is used in India, not America.

The above are the main names, but any name is correct, so use whatever you like.

Explain the difference between hemp and marijuana!

Now that we've covered hemp, marijuana, and cannabis, let's focus more on hemp and marijuana and explain the differences.

Hemp contains less THC

Compared to marijuana, hemp contains a very low amount of THC.

Also, in the United States, the standards are so strict worldwide that even hemp grown as hemp is discarded if it exceeds 0.3% THC when measured at the time of shipment.

However, in post-World War II Japan, no matter how low THC hemp is, it is not distinguished from marijuana, and it is judged whether it is illegal or legal according to the Cannabis Control Law.

Hemp becomes clothes

According to American standards, hemp becomes clothing.

Although it is also used as a fiber overseas, hemp has been cultivated traditionally in Japan since ancient times and has been used as a fiber.

Even now, it is possible to grow cannabis such as "Tochigishiro", which is unique to Japan, by obtaining approval from the governor of each prefecture and obtaining a license every year.

In addition, this horse chestnut has a THC concentration as low as 0.2%, and is a variety that can be used as a fiber even by world standards.

hemp can be food

Hemp becomes food and cosmetics.

For example, hemp seeds and hemp seed oil contained in shichimi pepper.

As a Japanese person, I am surprised to hear that hemp is contained in items that are found in every household, but I doubt that there are many people who have experienced any abnormalities after eating it.

It seems that some people overseas are using it for protein, or adding it to salads.

Hemp is used in Japanese CBD products

Hemp is used in Japanese CBD products according to American standards.

Also, when THC is detected in Japan, it is judged to be in violation of the Cannabis Control Law and cannot be imported.

However, personal imports and products from vendors that do not issue ingredient certificates may contain THC.

If you use such a product, you will not be able to enjoy it, such as getting sick.
