People in my city are going crazy over this new ‘hemp flower’. Obviously, I get that one is hemp and the other is marijuana. But how is it that the flowers/buds come out looking almost exactly the same? Is there really any difference when it comes to the buds / plants themselves, besides different cannabinoids?

You know how all apples look basically the same but taste a lot different? The reason for this is that plants have different cultivars in the same way that dogs and cats have different breeds. Different cultivars of apples produce different amounts of sugar – some produce a lot of sugar and taste sweet while other’s don’t.
Cannabis is the plant that people are growing when they grow hemp or weed. The difference between hemp and weed is the cultivar – cultivars that have <.3% THC by weight are called hemp. Cultivars that have more than that are called weed.
Other than the THC content there is no meaningful difference between hemp and weed.
