Hemp tea can provide you with a wide variety of health benefits that improve you both physically and mentally in a way that other teas and medicines simply cannot. The hemp plant is part of the cannabis sativa plant family that has become famous because some varieties contain a compound called THC, the psychoactive compound in marijuana or "weed". However, hemp contains negligible amounts of THC and instead contains a lot of the beneficial compound cannabidiol or CBD, which is not psychoactive and is something our bodies need to function properly.
