What is Hemp?
Hemp
Hemp is a plant-based product that is used to describe and classify different types of Cannabis ( a source of fiber, oil and food, and for its medicinal and intoxicating properties.) containing 0.3% or less THC.
It is the strongest natural fiber in the world & known to have over 50,000 different uses.
Legality: In 2018, Hemp was legalized under the Agricultural Improvement Act, allowing hemp and hemp-derived products that contain less than 0.3% of THC.
Cultivation: Hemp is meant to maximize its size and grown outdoors without the use of control or high maintenance attention needed.

Hemp Derived CBD
CBD from hemp does not need to be considered illegal because it contains no more than 0.3% THC or if it is under the Agricultural Act of 2018.
Personally, I started to use hemp-based products with Hemp Protein due to it being known as vegan and gluten-free. As someone who has Celiac and being lactose intolerant, I prefer to lean towards the vegan side due to it being easier for the intolerant issues that I struggle with.
Once I started using one product I was interested in knowing what else can Hemp do for me and my health issues. I started to look at the topical hemp infused healing balm with CBD and botanicals to help with my joint pain. I have personally used hemp in many different forms and it has truly changed my health in the best form.
