Hemp packing plant in Versailles
Cannabis and hemp plants used to be the same exact thing; that is, until roughly a hundred years ago when botanists and scientists began breeding the psychoactive qualities out of the Cannabis plants. This was done in order to assure security on industrial hemp farms as well as to lower the drug components (cannabinoids; mainly regarding THC) to a 0.3% level or less. If a Cannabis plant tests at or below this level it may be legally cultivated in most parts of the world and used for industrial and medical purposes.
