Botanically the same species (Cannabis sativa) but different cultivars. Industrial hemp used for fiber contains less than 0.3% THC (the psychoactive compound in marijuana) — legally defined non-drug cannabis. Our fiber hemp is harvested for stalk length, not flower, and tests show effectively zero THC in the finished textile. Customs authorities in the EU, US, UK, Canada, and Australia treat hemp textile as ordinary commercial fabric and require no special import permits.
