As a naturally growing herb, Cannabis and hemp have been used for thousands of years. However, its reputation as a drug in many parts of the world have complicated the relationship in certain parts of the world.
Manufactured primarily in France and Switzerland, from both low and high varieties of Cannabis, cannabis flower oil (also known as hemp essential oil) is obtained by steam distillation from the flowers and upper leaves of the Cannabis plant. It should not be confused with hemp oil, which is a vegetable oil that is expelled from pressing the seeds of low-THC (the principal psychoactive constituent of cannabis) varieties of hemp.
