People who use Hemp Oil do not want to experience the high effects of THC, which is the right thing.
Hemp seeds do not contain any THC, ye the traces couldn’t be counted as a whole.
Modern industrial methods extract the 99% of hemp seeds and then decontaminate it.
On a bottle of Hemp Oil, you will notice a clear label which says the product contains CBD and is THC free.
