Hemp VS Marijuana Hemp vs. Marijuana You may have seen store windows displaying hemp purses, clothing, or other products for sale, but, what exactly is hemp' Many people immediately think of marijuana when they see hemp products, and while the word "hemp" frequently appears in marijuana-related debates, hemp and marijuana is not the same thing.

Some strains of this plant are rich in a substance called THC which has euphoriant and medicinal properties. THC rich cannabis hemp is also known as "Indian hemp" and it is consumed for medicinal, recreational or spiritual purposes in two primary forms: As dried leaves and flowers ("marijuana") or as compressed resin and ground plant material ("hashish"). It is either inhaled or eaten. One of the most important differences is that marijuana can get a person high and hemp cannot.
