In 1937 Over 25,000 products could be made from hemp Why should American Farmers miss out on this cash crop? Hemp is different from marijuana in the fact that hemp contains a different CBD than marijuana. This CBD actually blocks the marijuana high. Marijuana smokers will not try taking your hemp to get high on nor will they try to plant marijuana in your hemp field because this would cause the marijuana to be pollinated and turn into hemp.
