    been bred to produce minimal levels of ​ tetrahydrocannabinol​(THC), the principal ​psychoactive
    constituent​. Some strains have been selectively bred to produce a maximum of THC (a

    In the US, "industrial hemp" is classified by the federal government as cannabis containing no
    more than 0.3% THC by dry weight. This classification was established in the 2018 Farm Bill and
    was refined to include hemp-sourced extracts, cannabinoids, and derivatives in the definition of
    hemp.​[10]
