Understanding Hemp Products

Hemp is its own category

Hemp refers to cannabis plant varieties grown for fibre, seed and other industrial uses rather than for high cannabinoid content. On ZazaMarket, hemp listings are kept separate from CBD listings and from cannabis products, because the products, the rules and the reasons people buy them are different.

A hemp tote bag, a hemp T-shirt and hemp seed oil used in cooking are everyday goods. They are not the same thing as a CBD extract, even when the plant family is shared.

What you will see on a hemp listing

Hemp listings usually describe material and construction rather than cannabinoid content:

• · Material composition, for example hemp and organic cotton blends
• · Weight or thickness of the fabric
• · Dimensions and care instructions
• · Whether any cannabinoid content is claimed at all

Hemp food and seed products

Hemp seed, hemp seed oil and hemp protein are sold as food ingredients. Labels should state the ingredients, the weight and the storage instructions. We do not publish claims about what these products do for your health.

Questions worth asking

Before you buy a hemp product from any retailer:

• · Is cannabinoid content claimed, and is it documented?
• · Is the listing clear about material and size?
• · Does the retailer state where the product ships from and to?
• · Is there an age restriction on the listing?

Before you buy
