Pastoral scenes of endless farming lands of Hemp are fine for the art framework, but current scenario by no means took hemp as “easy-to-go-with- production”. All hemp cultivation is required to be subjected upon state agencies and USDA approval, as hemp production is closely associated with federally-controlled crop marijuana. Hemp and marijuana are closely-tied varieties of Cannabis sativa that primarily differentiated with their production of the psychoactive chemical.
“People just don’t understand what hemp is,” said Jeffrey Cox, the head of Illinois’s bureau of medicinal plants, who manages to exhibit a hemp field at the state fair to introduce this genotypically different crop. “I had to explain that it’s not marijuana to hundreds and hundreds of people.”
Hemp, dioecious plants having both staminate (male) and pistillate (female), commonly cultivated for fibre and seed production (here collectively called it to as ‘hemp’), and drug strains cultivated for medicinal (a psychoactive drug) or recreational use. In this new-age agriculture not only had hemp fibre produced for fibre production but also for its nutritive resources (potentially fatty acids such as Linoleic acid, linolenic acid).
Lawmakers often confuse hemp with marijuana because of its similar smells. To be scientifically speaking, Marijuana is THC rich whereas hemp is CBD rich crop. Cannabinoids, formed by condensation of terpene and phenol precursors, is synthesized by cannabis. Since early 2000, states with the assistance of powerful American Farm Bureau Federation started to pass the laws leading hemp production, the latest already more than 30 states did. The threshold legal concentration of 0.3% THC was set in all the states except West Virginia, in which up to 1.0% THC is permissible. Consideration limit is THC content of 0.20% for the official EU variety list, 0.3% for Canada. Different states have been permitted to use hemp for a particular purpose; Missouri and Utah, typically to be allowed for using hemp extracts (CBD) for treating epilepsy individuals, Hawaii had permission only to study hemp as alternative phytoremediator and as a biofuel feedstock.
The public domain had special interest in Industrial hemp for the speculating debates between advocate and opponents across the USA.US activists intensely divide for the hemp legislation despite the major acceptance in agriculture and political communities in the US.

Yes, the smell of both in the field is very similar. Lab tests are the only way to check the THC levels to know for sure.
