However, ihemp has low THC content(0.3%) which is not toxic so its allowed to grow in many countries including India in controlled farming.

Researchers found beneficial qualities in hempseed oil. They found that some of its components are effective at promoting good health. These include sterols, aliphatic alcohols and linolenic acids.
The Linolenic acids contained in hempseed oil is an omega-3 fatty acid which is preventing coronary heart disease.
The Steroid alcohols is useful in lowering cholesterol, and daily dietary intake of sterols has been linked to a lower risk of heart attack.
The Aliphatic alcohols is known to lower cholesterol and reduce platelet aggregation. One of these alcohols, phytol, is associated with antioxidant and anticancer benefits.
Another antioxidant in hempseed oil is tocopherol, which is known to be beneficial against degenerative diseases, such as atherosclerosis and Alzheimer’s.
Hempseed oil also contain omega-6 fatty acid.
Hempseed also has high levels of vitamins A, C and E and ß-carotene, and it is rich in minerals like phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, sulfur and calcium.

The Cannabis sativa L. oil is typically over 90% in unsaturated fats, pressed from nondrug varieties of the Cannabisseed, is rich source of the two EFAs, linoleic acid (18:2 omega-6) and alpha-linolenic acid (18:3 omega-3), in addition to their respective biologic metabolites, gamma-linolenic acid (18:3 omega-6, ‘GLA’) and stearidonic acid (18:4 omega-3, ‘SDA’).The omega-6
to omega-3 ratio (n6/n3) in hempseed oil is normally between 2:1 and 3:1, which is considered to be optimal for human health.

Hemp Seed Oil can used to lowering cholesterol actions and useful in treating degenerative diseases. The Oleic Acid (Omega 9) helps keep arteries supple because of its fluidity. In excess Oleic acid can interfere with EFA’s and prostaglandin’s.

Hemp Seed Oil is such a rich source of both LA (Omega6) and LNA (Omega3)

Alpha Linolenic acid (LNA) Deficiency Symptoms – Treat with Omega3
The symptoms of LNA deficiency include: Growth retardation, weakness, impairment of vision and learning ability, motor in coordination, tingling in arms and legs, behavioral changes, High triglycerides, high blood pressure, sticky platelets, tissue inflammation, edema, dry skin, mental deterioration, low metabolic rate, some kinds of immune dysfunction, Adding LNA back into the diet from which it is missing can reverse these symptoms.
The functions of LNA include: Production of smooth skin increased stamina, speeds healing, increases vitality, brings a feeling of calmness, reduces inflammation, water retention, platelet stickiness and blood pressure, enhances immune functions, reduces the pain and swelling of arthritis, can reverse pre-menstrual syndrome, can treat bacterial infections, brain development in children.

Linoleic acid (LA) Deficiency Symptoms, – Treat with Omega6
The symptoms of LA deficiency include: Eczema-like skin eruptions, loss of hair, liver degeneration, behavioural disturbances, kidney degeneration, excessive water loss through the skin accompanied by thirst, drying up of glands, susceptibility to infections, failure of wound healing, sterility in males, miscarriage in females, arthritis-like conditions, heart and circulatory problems, growth retardation and consumptive disease tuberculosis.
The functions of LA include: Energy production, growth vitality, mental state, oxygen transfer, formation of cell membrane, recovery from fatigue, secretion production in exocrine and endocrine glands, formation of prostaglandin’s (to maintain cardiovascular system) keeping body fluids liquid, helping immune system resist and fight infection, prevention of allergies, functioning of heart tissue.
