Ganja, commonly known as marijuana, is a plant that contains compounds called cannabinoids, the most well-known being THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) and CBD (cannabidiol). It is often used for recreational and medicinal purposes, as it can produce effects such as relaxation, altered perception, and pain relief. The use of ganja varies widely across cultures and regions, with some places legalizing it for both medical and recreational use, while others maintain strict prohibitions. Research continues to explore its potential benefits and risks, contributing to ongoing discussions about its legality and health implications.
