Hemp and marijuana belong to the same class of plant, cannabis. What make the two different from each other aside from its appearance are its components. The two plants have health benefits to the user but marijuana can make that user stoned-high because of its tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) which is a psychoactive substance. On the other hand, Cannabidiol (CBD) is dominant in the hemp plant and unlike THC; it is not a psychoactive substance.
