What’s The Difference Between THC Oil, Hemp Oil, CBD Oil and Hash Oil

First, hemp and cannabis are not different plants per se. They are breeds or varieties of the same species: cannabis sativa. Nevertheless, the two varieties have several significant differences that range from how they grow and look to their uses and the chemical compounds in their extractions.
For instance, while hemp grows up to fifteen feet tall with long, massive stalks, cannabis grows outward with more leaves and buds and rarely exceeds five feet in height. The industrial hemp plants also seem to grow comfortably closely packed together while each cannabis plant requires some space to grow.

But the most significant difference, especially in regard to the oils, is in the chemical compounds they contain, which are also referred to as cannabinoids. Cannabis-derived oils are increasingly popular, and their uses and properties differ depending on what part of the plant they come from and how they are created. Here is a quick run-through of the differences in these oils and their uses.

THC Oil/Cannabis oil

An oil made from (Dutch) marijuana with a high concentration of THC. The purpose is to become high, though the medicinal effect becomes more and more important. Cannabis oils generally have a strong aroma, and come in light or dark green and brown colors. Cannabis oils are potent sources of THC which means it will give you a good buzz, but also contains many cannabinoids with therapeutic properties. It is commonly used to treat cancer, depression, chronic pain, and anxiety and is also a powerful anti-inflammatory.
