Hemp IS cannabis. Both male and female marijuana are both cannabis. There is no such thing as a female version of hemp that is separate or distinct from the female cannabis plant. Cannabis is hemp and hemp is cannabis both male and female. Regardless what the Farm Bill says. There is also no difference between medical and recreational marijuana. This is just marketing.
@@JM-ym8mmthere might be a legal distinction in use, ie: using medicinal vs recreationally, but materially speaking. Medical cannabis is no different than recreational cannabis. It’s literally the same plant. Also anyone who claims to be using recreationally, deep down is self medicating something. Everyone uses cannabis medically because it’s medicine.
@@Ajvb219 Well... Not quite. As a legal distinction, it provides protection for those who are growing purely for the fibre to NOT have THC in it. Less chance of getting robbed and no chance the government will accuse you of growing a classed drug. Within the plant itself, there are chemical differences between what we call hemp and what we call cannabis. It is not accurate to say there is no difference but the differences in nature aren't big enough for them to be different species. Therefore, as with all other plants, the varieties are called "cultivars". Some call them "chemovars" on account that we're choosing them according to the chemicals therein and not say, for their nutritional content like with veggies or fruits. That is the distinction. There needs to be some label attached to the product to tell us whether it's a THC or a CBD predominant plant. The use case for either are completely different even if we ignore the fibre trade and focus strictly on medical/recreational use.
The dosage makes the poison. Any medicine can be harmful if misused. This is why we need to educate and not outlaw. Tell the people what they need to watch out for and what they should be after and they'll make the right choice. Having so much genetic variation in Marijuana means that not all varieties or cultivars are equally as good as each other depending on the disease or ailment being treated. Especially when someone is prone to anxiety, using the wrong chemovar can do more harm than good. I was just watching a lecture by a researcher who figured out that there is a specific cannabinoid that is responsible for the positive effects experienced by severely autistic people when medicated with medical marijuana. Using this information, he wants to selectively breed a chemovar that has that specific cannabinoid as its primary cannabinoid. This should hopefully result in full spectrum cannabis oil that's less THC heavy but even more effective in reducing their violent outbursts than a THC heavy cultivar. I guess my point is that the plant isn't to blame but rather, the many ways humans misuse it are to blame.
