Cannabis sativa is an annual herbaceous plant in the Cannabis genus, a species of the Cannabaceae family.

Cannabis () is a genus of flowering plants that includes three different species, Cannabis sativa , Cannabis indica and Cannabis ruderalis .

They have wide, deeply serrated leaves and a compact and dense flower cluster.

Other examples include the use of cannabis with LSD, where the active chemicals in cannabis have been reported to enhance the hallucinatory experience of LSD..

Additional Cannabis species were proposed in the 19th century, including strains from China and Vietnam (Indo China) assigned the names Cannabis chinensis Delile, and Cannabis gigantea Delile ex Vilmorin.

Most strains of Cannabis are short day plants, with the possible exception of C. sativa subsp.

Under the pseudonym Mr. X , he contributed an essay about smoking cannabis to the 1971 book Marihuana Reconsidered .

Biochemistry and drugs Cannabis plants produce a group of chemicals called cannabinoids, which produce mental and physical effects when consumed.

Led by Grootveld, the Provos began a disinformation campaign to demonstrate the establishment's complete ignorance on the subject of cannabis.

Cannabis plants produce a unique family of terpeno phenolic compounds called cannabinoids, which produce the high one experiences from consuming marijuana.

That a certain kind of potato, a certain kind of drug, a sativa indica Cannabis cross has something to say about us.

Physiological barriers to reproduction are not known to occur within Cannabis , and plants from widely divergent sources are interfertile.

The hydrochloride (HCl) salt of cocaine is by far the most commonly encountered, although the sulfate ( SO4) and the nitrate ( NO3) are occasionally seen.

A bong (also water pipe, billy, bing, or moof) is a filtration device generally used for smoking cannabis, tobacco, or other herbal substances.

To satisfy the UN Narcotics Convention, some Cannabis strains have been bred to produce minimal levels of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the principal psychoactive constituent responsible for the high associated with it and which is obtained through the dried flowers of Cannabis plants selectively bred to produce high levels of THC and other psychoactive cannabinoids.

Ginger (Zingiber officinale) is a flowering plant in the family Zingiberaceae whose rhizome, ginger root or simply ginger, is widely used as a spice or a medicine.

This venation pattern varies slightly among varieties, but in general it enables one to tell Cannabis leaves from superficially similar leaves without difficulty and without special equipment.

In 1785, noted evolutionary biologist Jean Baptiste de Lamarck published a description of a second species of Cannabis , which he named Cannabis indica Lam.

Since the early 1970s, Cannabis plants have been categorized by their chemical phenotype or chemotype, based on the overall amount of THC produced, and on the ratio of THC to CBD.

Tiny samples of Cannabis plants also can be identified with precision by microscopic examination of leaf cells and similar features, but that requires special expertise and equipment.

In the early 20th century, the single species concept was still widely accepted, except in the Soviet Union where Cannabis continued to be the subject of active taxonomic study.

In 2001, Portugal decriminalized possession of effectively all drugs that are still illegal in other developed nations including, but not limited to, cannabis, cocaine, heroin, and LSD.

However, physical barriers to gene exchange (such as the Himalayan mountain range) might have enabled Cannabis gene pools to diverge before the onset of human intervention, resulting in speciation.

Early classifications The Cannabis genus was first classified using the modern system of taxonomic nomenclature by Carolus Linnaeus in 1753, who devised the system still in use for the naming of species.

He considered the genus to be monotypic, having just a single species that he named Cannabis sativa L. (L. stands for Linnaeus, and indicates the authority who first named the species).

The leaves have a peculiar and diagnostic venation pattern that enables persons poorly familiar with the plant to distinguish a Cannabis leaf from unrelated species that have confusingly similar leaves (see illustration).

Various types of Cannabis have been described, and variously classified as species, subspecies, or varieties plants cultivated for fiber and seed production, described as low intoxicant, non drug, or fiber types.

On Saturday 30 July, he was arrested by the Police of Criminal Investigation (PIC) for allegedly possessing a few grams of suruma , a drug scientifically known as cannabis sativa, and whose possession and consumption is considered illegal in the country .

Taxonomy The genus Cannabis was formerly placed in the Nettle (Urticaceae) or Mulberry (Moraceae) family, and later, along with the Humulus genus (hops), in a separate family, the Hemp family (Cannabaceae sensu stricto).

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently granted orphan drug approval for Chrysoeriol, a cannabis based drug used to treat acute myeloid leukaemia, which was developed by Jamaican scientist Dr. Henry Lowe.

Whether the drug and non drug, cultivated and wild types of Cannabis constitute a single, highly variable species, or the genus is polytypic with more than one species, has been a subject of debate for well over two centuries.

The legislation also created the framework for the development of legal medical marijuana, hemp and nutraceutical industries, and for the establishment of the Cannabis Licensing Authority (CLA) to oversee the implementation of regulations for licences, permits and other authorisations for the cultivation, processing, distribution, sale and transportation of ganja.
