Question

Is a cannabis sativa seed the same as a hemp seed?

Answer 1

Sativa is a strain of cannabis... one of two main strains...

Sativa and Indica... These strains differ by visual characteristics and amounts of active ingredients.

According to the law books only cannabis sativa exists though, so it can get confusing...

when producing hemp in order to conform with laws the hemp farmers must remove the female plants, opposite of what cannabis users do...

sativa is characterized as longer thinner plant and as such it usually provides better characteristics for hemp fiber cultivation than it's shorter bushier counterpart indica...

Your question was about seeds, and there is no simple way to determine plant gender before budding begins... but only female plants produce seeds (so there must be females somewhere in hemp production)
