Aesthetically, for a person who does not grow marijuana or only knows a little about it, it can be very difficult to know what is the\u202fdifference between hemp and marijuana. The truth is that there\u202fare quite significant differences\u202fthat characterize them, which we will explain one by one in this fantastic post. Stay with us and you will learn everything there is to know about this curious and versatile plant. <\/p>\n\n\n
\n\n\n
THE ORIGIN OF HEMP AND MARIJUANA<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
The origins of hemp and marijuana have always been linked since they\u202fbelong to the same family, cannabis. This very special plant is believed to have its\u202forigins in Central Asia and South Asia, which date back to almost more than\u202f10,000 years BC\u202fCannabis has developed naturally for thousands of years, until humanity was taking advantage Its fantastic properties are progressive, although at first all cannabis plants were used for the same uses, without distinguishing between hemp or marijuana. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Over the centuries,\u202fthe use and exploitation of cannabis plants varied, plants were selected for their qualities and characteristics and, therefore, they were no longer used for the same purpose. On the one hand, specimens were started to be cultivated and selected\u202fto obtain fibers and\/or food\u202fand, on the other hand,\u202fto obtain psychoactive flowers, which were used in different types of rituals and as a medicinal remedy. We could say that the cultivation and domestication of cannabis with some objectives began to develop from 7,000 BC, differentiating between plants for fiber and plants for medicinal or spiritual use, without yet having a scientific name to identify them, but a use. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
These data explain, more or less, the origin of hemp and marijuana, but not when they were first classified and baptized with a specific name.\u202fThe first time was ranked\u202fthe cannabis plant did the\u202fSwedish botanist Carl Linnaeus\u202fand called\u202fCannabis Sativa L. The word \u2018cannabis\u2019 has uncertain origins, since in many cultures words very similar to the word \u2018cannabis\u2019 have been used, so it cannot be clarified. The word \u2018Sativa\u2019 means \u2018cultivated\u2019 and we can find a multitude of plant species that contain this word in their nomenclature, such as, for example, Avena sativa. Years later,\u202fthe naturalist Jean-Baptiste Lamarck\u202fdiscovered what we now call Indica\u202fcannabis (marijuana). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
MORPHOLOGICAL DIFFERENCES BETWEEN HEMP AND MARIJUANA<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
The hemp plant has morphological characteristics that differentiate it from the rest of the cannabis varieties that can be found. In general, it is a plant that has\u202fgreat vertical development\u202fand almost no horizontal development, which is why it usually tends to easily exceed 2 meters in height, reaching\u202fup to 5 meters. It develops large, webbed leaves with medium to medium-large leaflets. The internodal distance it develops is very wide, and can be greater than 15 cm. Usually, its\u202fbranches and trunks have a higher density\u202fand have a higher percentage of fiber. The flowers that form on them are not too conspicuous since they have a spiky\u202fand unappetizing appearance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
DIFFERENCES IN THE USE OF HEMP AND MARIJUANA<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Hemp, as we have already briefly commented, is used to\u202ftaking advantage of its fibrous parts, flowers, and seeds\u202fto make multiple products, foods, and materials, which we are going to list. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Products produced from hemp:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Different types of clothing and textiles: shirts, pants, slippers, curtains, etc. <\/li>
Construction material: bricks, thermal insulation, panels, etc. <\/li>
Cosmetic products: creams, oils, shampoos, etc. <\/li>
Animal and human nutrition: water, hemp oil, hemp seeds, pasta, flour, etc. <\/li>
Medicinal products rich in CBD: creams, oils with CBD, flowers, etc. <\/li>
Industrial material included in different components of vehicles, machinery, etc. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
CONCLUSION<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\u202fAs you can see,\u202fthe hemp plant is used in its entirety\u202fand an infinite number of products, materials, and medicines can be produced, making it\u202fone of the most versatile plants in the world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, the\u202fcultivation of marijuana\u202fis intended for the\u202fproduction of flowers with a medicinal and\/or recreational nature, of which the rest of the components are not used for the elaboration of other products since it does not stand out for being a great producer of fiber\u2026 <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
