Cannabis is a leafy plant which grows wild in many of the tropic and temperate areas of the world. It is cultivated both indoors and out for the production of its flowering tops. The most commonly used form of cannabis are the leaves and flowering tops (buds) which may be either smoked or eaten; It also comes in a more concentrated resinous form called hashish, and as a sticky black liquid called hash oil. There are three distinct species of cannabis: Cannabis sativa, Cannabis indica, and Cannabis ruderalis, though there is some argument as to whether these should be considered varieties rather than species. Most recreationally used cannabis is the result of interbreeding between these three types. The term 'hemp' is generally used to describe low-thc varieties of cannabis which are grown for industrial uses.

An herb which is usually smoked to get high. Symptoms include: short-term memory loss, hightened senses, creativity, hunger, general well-being, and in some cases, hallucinations.
Cannabis has basically no negative side-effects except mental addiction in few cases. Unlike what someone else said, YOU CANNOT DIE FROM SMOKING CANNABIS. There have been absolutely no deaths from only cannabis. I know someone who smoked 12 bowls of it in one night and just passed out drooling on the floor.
Better than alcohol because you don't get a hangover, and plenty of people can drive very well when stoned.

The one plant that could cure all of our economical, agricultural, social, and FUTURE problems. If only the big corporations would worry about their children's children instead of their bank account.

If it weren't for cannabis making rope for the exploration ships, we would not be in America. It was not until the world's fair that pot parties started in America.

the english name for marijuana. Why do they call it marijuana? because they wanted to associate it with mexicans as well when they were trying to outlaw it, using racist ploys.
