There are broadly three groups of cannabis varieties being
cultivated:
Ø
Varieties primary cultivated for their fiber,
characterized by long stems and little branching, called industrial hemp.
Ø
Varieties grown for seed from which hemp oil is
extracted.
Ø
Varieties grown formedicinal or recreational
purposes.
A nominal if not legal distinction is often made between
hemp, with concentrations of psychoactive chemicals far too to be useful as a
drug, and cannabis used for medical, recreational, or spiritual purposes.
