Cannabis Sativa (Marijuana)
Cannabis Sativa, commonly known as marijuana, is a plant species that is widely recognized for its psychoactive properties. It contains compounds called cannabinoids, with tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) being the most well-known for producing the "high" associated with its use. Cannabis Sativa is often cultivated for both recreational and medicinal purposes.
In addition to THC, Cannabis Sativa also contains cannabidiol (CBD), which is non-psychoactive and has gained popularity for its potential therapeutic benefits. The plant can be consumed in various forms, including dried flowers, oils, and edibles, and is used to alleviate symptoms such as pain, anxiety, and nausea.
