Today, the strains of cannabis that have been bred to have an extremely low amount of THC and contain a maximum of 0.3% THC by dry weight, are legally known as “industrial hemp” – as the plants are processed for an industry like food or fiber. Any strains of cannabis with a higher amount of THC are collectively known as marijuana. The difference between industrial hemp and cannabis is carefully regulated by each state through testing throughout the growing process.
