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?

THC is the main psychoactive compound in cannabis that people intake for recreational use. CBD is a different compound that does not cause a “high” but rather has great potential for medicinal uses such as relieving chronic pain.

Cannabis has a variety of different strains being grown at this point, each a little different from each other. Hemp is a form that tends to have very little THC in it and thus is useless for recreational use(which also tends to make it legal to grow in more areas), but has numerous other uses such as CBD, natural fibers for rope or clothing, or even using parts of the plant as a food source.
