When it comes to cannabis oils, there’s a large variety. Sometimes, it can get a little confusing – hemp oil, CBD oil, vegetable oil? All three can be used in cooking recipes, but only two of those are related to marijuana.
Hemp Oil, like CBD (cannabidiol) oil, is extracted from a cannabis plant. However, hemp oil is taken from the seeds of the industrial hemp plant, which isn’t made up of the same mind-altering chemicals that produce a high. Within the industrial plant, there is less THC and more of a variety of cannabinoids. These plants are used for uses outside of recreational use, sans the high; these industrial hemp plants are instead created for commercial purposes, to produce items like paper, biodegradable plastics, food, biofuel, insulation, textiles, animal feed, and paint.
CBD oil, on the other hand, comes from non-industrial cannabis plants, which are used for both recreational and medical purposes. Instead of coming straight from seeds, CBD oil is harvested from practically every part of the plant – the flower, stalk, leaves. Some consumers report a soothing property associated with this oil.
Hemp oil is still a widely popular extract, sold in all 50 states. From a cooking alternative (it provides a nutty flavor) to a beauty product (it’s known as a strong moisturizer) to a vape tool (it can be flavored, then sold as a vapor pen accessory)- hemp oil has many uses. While hemp oils are sold at all different venues and stores, dispensaries offer a unique perspective to oil consumers – they know all about hemp in all its forms and which products deliver specific experiences.
