What is Cannabis? Marijuana? Hashish?

Cannabis sativa English name: Marijuana, Cannabis, Hemp, Pot, Weed Family: Cannabaceae Genus: Cannabis sativa Common name: Hemp boy, rat tail It is a drug made from the cannabis sativa plant that is considered a medical drug in countries where it is legalized for medical use, and it is made from the use of the flowers of the female Cannabis sativa plant with the hairs. It is made by drying the flowers and trichomes of female marijuana. There are three main cultivars: Cannabis sativa, Cannabis indica and Cannabis sativa hybrids, which combine the characteristics of both. While its main psychoactive component is tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), marijuana also contains more than 423 known compounds, including at least 65 other cannabinoids, such as cannabinol and cannabidiol, which produce sensory effects that differ markedly from the psychoactive effects of THC.

The term Marijuana refers to cannabis made in herbal form, including the mature female plant flowers, leaves, and stems, while Hashish refers to cannabis resin, a way to concentrate cannabis. The use of marijuana usually produces a variety of psychological and physiological responses, such as feelings of pleasure and euphoria, changes in sensory awareness, and increased appetite. The onset of effects occurs a few minutes after inhalation and within 30 to 60 minutes after use, with effects lasting from 2 to 6 hours. Short-term side effects may include: short-term memory loss, dry mouth, impaired motor function, red eyes, paranoia or feelings of anxiety. Long-term abuse of marijuana can lead to marijuana addiction, long-term use since adolescence can lead to reduced mental capacity, and long-term use during conception can lead to behavioral problems in children. Some studies have found a strong association between marijuana use and the risk of developing neurological disorders, but the causal relationship remains controversial!
