  • Legal Status: Legal under the 2018 Farm Bill in the United States, provided it meets the THC threshold.

  • Effects: Non-psychoactive and used for potential therapeutic benefits such as reducing anxiety, pain relief, and promoting relaxation.

Cannabis (Marijuana):

  • THC Content: Typically contains higher levels of THC, often between 5% to 30%, which produces the psychoactive effects.

  • Primary Use: Grown primarily for recreational and medicinal purposes to leverage the psychoactive and therapeutic effects of THC.

  • Legal Status: Legal status varies by state and country, with some regions permitting its use for medical or recreational purposes, while others maintain strict prohibitions.

  • Effects: Psychoactive, causing the "high" sensation, but also used for various medical benefits, such as pain management, appetite stimulation, and nausea reduction.
