Walk through a field of Cannabis sativa, and you might get confused. The jagged leaves look the same. The distinct, earthy aroma fills the air just the same. To the naked eye, Hemp and Marijuana are identical twins.
But if you look a little closerâspecifically at the chemistryâyouâll see they are actually just cousins with very different "personalities."
At DNA Hemp, we get asked about this a lot. As farmers who spend our days hands-deep in the soil, we believe that understanding your plant medicine is the first step to healing with it. So, letâs clear the haze and break down the difference.
Itâs All About the Numbers
Legally and chemically, the difference between Hemp and Marijuana comes down to a single threshold: THC content.
Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is the compound responsible for the intoxicating "high."
⢠Marijuana: Contains high levels of THC. It is used for its psychoactive effects.
⢠Hemp: Must contain 0.3% or less THC by dry weight.
That is a tiny amountâenough to exist in the plant naturally, but not nearly enough to get you high. When you use hemp-derived products, you arenât looking for an escape; youâre looking for balance.
High vs. Heal
Think of it this way: Marijuana is often about altering your reality, while Hemp is about enhancing it.
Hemp is naturally rich in CBD (Cannabidiol), a compound that works with your bodyâs internal systems to lower stress, reduce inflammation, and improve sleep. It provides the therapeutic benefits of the cannabis plant without the fog or intoxication.
We grow hemp because we believe in clear-headed healing. We want you to feel like the best version of yourselfâcalm, focused, and restedânot someone else.
The DNA Hemp Difference: Why "Sun-Grown" Matters
Knowing the difference between Hemp and Marijuana is important, but knowing how your hemp was grown is crucial.
Many cannabis operations grow indoors, under artificial lights, using synthetic nutrients to force the plants to grow faster. At DNA Hemp, we take a different approach. We trust the sun. âď¸
Our hemp is sun-grown right here in our Wisconsin soil. Why does this matter?
1. Full Spectrum Energy: Just like tomatoes taste better from the garden than the grocery store, hemp produces a more complex profile of terpenes and cannabinoids when it fights the natural elements and drinks in natural sunlight.
2. Sustainable Farming: We work with nature, not against it. Our farmers tend to the land with sustainable practices that regenerate the soil rather than deplete it.
3. High Vibrational Medicine: We believe plants absorb energy. When you use DNA Hemp products, you are consuming plant medicine that was nurtured by real farmers, fresh air, and sunshine.
Trust the Farmer, Trust the Plant
The world of cannabis can be complicated, but your wellness routine shouldn't be.
When you choose DNA Hemp, you arenât just buying a product; youâre supporting a family farm and choosing a natural path to wellness. Whether you are looking to calm anxiety or soothe aching muscles, our sun-grown hemp is harvested with one intention: to help you heal naturally.
