What is Cannabis?

Marijuana, Weed, Pot, Reefer, and Mary Jane are just a few of the many slang terms that are used when referencing cannabis. Cannabis is a psychoactive drug from the cannabis plant. Native to Central or South Asia, the cannabis plant has been used as a drug for both recreational and various traditional medicines for centuries. The cannabis plant sparks diverse conversations in social, medical, and legal realms. In the healthcare field, cannabis is recognized for its potential therapeutic benefits, yet uncertainties persist about dosages and long-term effects. Legally, the global status of cannabis is a patchwork of regulations, fueling debates on legalization, prohibition, and the economic implications of this rapidly growing industry. In the social sphere, cannabis stimulates discussions on broader societal impacts, including questions about responsible use, public perception, and the evolving dynamics of social interactions influenced by changing attitudes toward cannabis consumptions.
