There’s a lot of different strains. Just like MMJ there are a lot of hemp variations with different properties

400+ types of hemp have been discovered so far however that number is likely to increase as time goes on and new species are either created or found

From what I’ve read, there are 100’s of different types so similar to each other and some very different, kind of like dogs. Now that’s it’s legal in parts of the US, I would expect people will try cross-breeding it and whatnot, which should lead to even more variations.
