We can all agree, that it has great benefits for your skin, many medical & industrial uses, but the major question that revolves around this particular ingredient is;

Can Hemp Seed Oil Get You High? Is It Illegal?

Although Hemp Seed Oil belongs to the same plant family as cannabis, Cannabis Sativa L, they’re still two different plants with different compositions. The difference lies in the quantity of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) present in each plant. THC is the psychoactive portion of the cannabis plant. It’s the chemical that makes you feel “high”. Coming back to the former question, is Hemp Seed Oil illegal? No, it’s not. The Oil’s THC content is less than 0.3%, thus making its medical & industrial usage legal. FURR By Pee Safe’s range of Hemp Seed Oil products are free of THC!
