The three main species of the cannabis genus are Cannabis ruderalis, Cannabis indica, and Cannabis sativa, all of which are flowering plants. Common terms for the plant include hemp, pot, marijuana, and weed.

Medicinal, recreational, and industrial applications of cannabis have persisted over the course of thousands of years. Tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, and cannabidiol, or CBD, are the two primary psychoactive components of cannabis.

The intoxicating "high" that individuals get from cannabis is caused by the psychoactive compound THC, while the non-psychoactive cannabinoid CBD has several possible medicinal uses. Strains of cannabis with a higher concentration of THC are commonly referred to as marijuana, and it is mostly utilized for recreational and therapeutic uses.

The industrial uses of hemp include the manufacture of fibers, seeds, and oil; it is a kind of Cannabis sativa with a low THC level. Worldwide, cannabis's legal status is rather subjective.

While some nations have relaxed their laws on its usage for both medical and recreational purposes, others continue to outright ban it. It is critical that you research and adhere to the cannabis laws and regulations in your particular jurisdiction.
