Hemp is the government name for cannabis and contains less than 0.3% THC.
Fun fact: Hemp plants are some of the most versatile plants in the world. We can use its stem for fiber to make paper and clothing and fabric, obtain protein from its seeds, and make oils and smokeable components from its flowers. How cool is that!
The component you need in order to get high from Cannabis is called THC (tetrahydrocannabinol).
Hemp does not produce nearly enough THC to create the same psychoactive affect as marijuana (which has plenty of CBD). It has THC, just in lower quantities.
However, although hemp lacks large amounts of THC, it does contain cannabidiol (CBD) in much higher concentrations. CBD is becoming a wildly popular therapeutic aid among many today.
Fun fact: The longer the flowers stay on the plant the more THC it is able to produce!
It depends on which oil you are consuming and what company you are purchasing from. The short answer is: always check the lab results!
Here is a longer answer:
There are different kinds of CBD oils:
CBD Isolate - contains only CBD
Broad Spectrum CBD - contains CBD as well as a wide variety of cannabinoids
Full Spectrum CBD - contains most or all of cannabinoid components, sometimes THC
CBD Isolate and Broad Spectrum CBD are usually THC free and so won't earn you a positive test result, howeverthat may vary from company to company.
Full Spectrum CBD is just that; it has the full range of components found in cannabis and so usually contains enough traces of THC to earn you a positive result, however, that may vary from company to company.
Always check the lab reports of the CBD company you are buying from and see the percentage of THC in their products yourself. If there is any THC at all you always have a chance of testing positive.
