[[Hemp]] and marijuana are the two major varieties of ''[[Cannabis sativa]]''. While both contain [[Tetrahydrocannabinol|Δ<sup>9</sup>-tetrahydrocannabinol]] (THC), the primary [[Psychoactive drug|psychoactive]] component of ''C. sativa'', they differ in the amount of THC that they contain. Presently, U.S. federal laws stipulate that ''C. sativa'' containing greater than 0.3% THC is classified as marijuana, while plant material that contains less than or equal to 0.3% THC is hemp.

"Characterization of trichome phenotypes to assess maturation and flower development in Cannabis sativa L. by automatic trichome gland analysis"

Cannabis (Cannabis sativa L.) is cultivated by licensed producers in Canada for medicinal and recreational uses. The recent legalization of this plant in 2018 has resulted in rapid expansion of the industry, with greenhouse production representing the most common method of cultivation. Female Cannabis plants produce inflorescences that contain bracts densely covered by glandular trichomes, which synthesize a range of commercially important cannabinoids (e.g., tetrahydrocannabinol [THC] and cannabidiol [CBD]), as well as terpenes. Cannabinoid content and quality varies over the eight-week flowering period to such an extent that the time of harvest can significantly impact product quality ... (Full article...)
