Im not sure if this answers the question or if i'm just repeating info but this is what I found:

"Next to fibres, shivs and seeds, this year a new topic arises: Cannabidiol (CBD), a by-product from industrial hemp, shows high therapeutic and financial potential without any relevant side effects.
THC, the well-known cannabinoid responsible for the psychotropic as well as several pharmaceutical effects, exists only in very low concentrations in industrial hemp (< 0.2%). In recent years, interest has been increasing in the therapeutic potential of another cannabinoid, which does not cause any psychotropic effects and even in high doses does not cause any relevant side-effects: Cannabidiol (CBD) is the primary cannabinoid of industrial hemp, present in concentrations in the range of 0.5 to 2% in the upper third of the plant. There is potential for therapeutic use in a large number of diseases and symptoms, including anxiety disorders such as post-traumatic stress disorder, psychosis, epilepsy, dystonia, diabetes, cancer, inflammatory diseases, Alzheimer’s disease, skin diseases, hepatitis, obesity as well as ADHD (attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder). CBD can be utilized parallel to the hemp fibres and shivs, giving an extra income."

"A few numbers will show why CBD is so interesting and inspires the imagination of investors and farmers: As a by-product of industrial hemp cultivated for fibres or seeds, around 3 kg CBD per ha can be extracted from flowers, leaves and stems. The market price of pharmaceutical CBD today is between 20,000 and 30,000 €/kg. Also with relevant harvesting, drying and extraction costs, there is potential for an attractive extra profit for the farmers."

No mention of CBD oil from the seeds, once again please correct me if I'm wrong. The more info we can gather together, the better.
