The cannabis family is similar to citrus, in that oranges and limes are part of the same family but taste completely different and have different properties.

Marijuana is from the same plant family as hemp but unlike hemp, has high levels of THC in it. THC is the psychoactive compound that gives you that "high" feeling.

Hemp on the other hand are low in THC and high in CBD, which doesn't give you that "high" feeling as instead used by millions worldwide for its wellness enhancing effects.
