Cannabis and hemp come from the same plant species, cannabis sativa, and are nearly identical except for their legal classification. Hemp is defined as cannabis with less than .03% Delta-9 THC by dry weight and is federally legal. Cannabis is any plant that has more than .03% Delta-9 THC content and is, therefore, federally illegal. Delta-9 THC is the exact same compound, whether it is derived from hemp or cannabis. This is a naturally occurring compound, and Atlanta Hemp Company only derives its Delta-9 THC through hemp mother liquor, so there are no synthetic bi-products or chemical conversions involved, which is often the case with some newly isolated cannabinoids like Delta-8 THC.
