If you're considering hemp hurd for construction, manufacturing, or other industrial applications, you might be wondering: "Does this material contain THC?" It's a fair question, and one we hear frequently from customers who want to ensure they're using completely compliant materials.
The short answer? Hemp hurd contains essentially no THC.
Understanding Hemp Hurd: The Heart of the Hemp Plant
Hemp hurd is the woody inner core of hemp stalks – think of it as the "heartwood" that remains after the valuable outer fibers are removed. This material has been gaining popularity across industries for its versatility in applications ranging from hempcrete construction to eco-friendly animal bedding.
But here's what makes hemp hurd special: it's the part of the plant that's naturally free from cannabinoids.
Hemp Hurd & THC
THC Lives in the Leaves and Flowers THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) is produced in specialized glands called trichomes, which are primarily found on hemp flowers and leaves. These resinous structures simply don't exist in significant numbers on the woody interior of hemp stalks.
Industrial Hemp Standards At Wyoming Hemp Company, we work exclusively with industrial hemp that contains less than 0.3% THC by dry weight – that's the legal requirement. Since hemp hurd comes from the inner woody core, it contains even less than this already minimal threshold.
Processing Removes Any Trace Amounts During our processing methods, hemp hurd is separated from the fiber and other parts of the plant. This means the final product you receive is the pure, woody core material.
What This Means for Your Projects
Whether you're using hemp hurd for:
- Construction materials like hempcrete blocks
- Animal bedding for livestock
- Industrial manufacturing applications
- Sustainable packaging solutions
You can move forward with confidence knowing that hemp hurd is essentially THC-free and won't present any compliance issues for your business or personal projects.
At Wyoming Hemp Company, we take compliance seriously from seed to final product. Our hemp crops undergo extensive testing throughout the growing season to ensure they never become "hot" – industry terminology for hemp that exceeds the legal 0.3% THC threshold.
