I don't know if I would say unrealted... that's kinda like saying boys aren't related to girls... why not say hemp can be produced without any known canabinoids that are narcotic. Hemp has many different strands and the different content of THC is a very big factor... it has been known for years hemp has little THC... 'Buds" and "nuggets" didn't exsist like they do today... weed grew like hemp and the leaves were as potent as the buds. It wasn't till they moved indoors and climate/conditions were specific till the big buds came..
