Abstract

Cannabis a plant genus belonging to the hemp family (Cannabaceae) of the nettle order (Urticales). The genus comprises one species, C. sativa L. (Indian hemp), a stout, aromatic, erect, annual herb that originated in Central Asia and is now cultivated widely in the North Temperate Zone. A tall cane-like variety is raised for the production of hemp fibre; the female plant of a short, branchier variety is prized as the more abundant source of a mild hallucinogenic drug present in the resin of the flowering tops, leaves, seeds and stems. Cannabis has been used for centuries by a sector of society, either by inhalation or orally, without evoking enough scientific interest except probably as a minor problem of sociological and legal importance.
