Similarities




  • Hemp and marijuana are varieties of the Cannabis sativa plant.

  • They're both illegal to grow in the United States, although hemp products are legal.

  • Both have similar aromas when in bloom.



Differences

  • Marijuana plants tend to be short and bushy, hemp can be as high as 25 feet tall.

  • Marijuana can be used to smoke or eat. Hemp can be used to produce more than 25,000 products.
