The hemp plant is considered safe and has been used for ages as material for clothing, paper, and medicine. The seeds were even consumed as food. In fact, it may have been one of the oldest known plants that were cultivated for nutritional and medicinal purposes.
Hemp plants are different from other cannabis plants primarily due to how it’s cultivated and used, as well as the amount of compound THC or delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol found in it. A cannabis plant must not contain more than 0.3% THC for it to be legally classified as a hemp plant.
However, different countries have different legal standpoints on the purchase and use of hemp plants and oil. Please check your country’s laws before purchasing products with hemp seed oil.
