Many people confuse the concepts of hemp milk and managa, implying that they are one and the same, which in reality is far from being the case.
Hemp milk is a drink that is made from hemp seeds. This version of hemp milk saturates the body with protein and nutrients, including omega-3, omega-6, vitamins B, C, E, zinc and iron, while it does not contain THC.
Managa is a thrush prepared from hemp leaves or/and their inflorescence, which has various effects and properties due to the presence of cannabinoids and THC in it.
