What are the differences between hemp, CBD, THC, etc?

I don’t really have a great understanding of the terms and how they are different. Marijuana in my state is illegal, yet I see various products in the gas station that claim to mimic it. Help?

Hemp is a family of plants. It’s known for its fiberous stalks, so it’s great for making string and rope.

Cannabis or Marijuana is a type of hemp that has been selectively bred to have high THC levels. Hemp is generally classified as less than 0.3% THC and anything over 0.3% is Cannabis.

THC is the chemical that gets you high.

CBD is another chemical found in hemp and Cannabis. It has some alleged health benefits. Although proper clinical studies on it are still in early stages. But most agree it isn’t harmful at least.
