{"schemaVersion":1,"language":"en","canonical":"https://cbd.bike/guides/hemp-oil-vs-cbd-oil/","question":"Hemp seed oil vs CBD oil: what is the difference?","answer":"Hemp seed oil comes from seeds; CBD oil contains a cannabinoid ingredient in a carrier. A hemp oil name or seed-oil quantity does not establish a CBD amount.
