This article is about the plant genus Cannabis. For use as a psychoactive drug, see
Cannabis (drug). For use as a therapeutic drug, see
Medical Cannabis. For non-drug cultivation and uses, see
Hemp. Cannabis (
Cán-na-bis) is a genus of
flowering plants that includes three putative species, Cannabis sativa L., Cannabis indica Lam., and Cannabis ruderalis Janisch. These three taxa are indigenous to
central Asia and surrounding regions. Industrial
hemp products are made from Cannabis plants selected to produce an abundance of fiber and minimal levels of
THC (Δ9- tetrahydrocannabinol), one
psychoactive molecule that produces the "high" associated with
marijuana. The drug consists of dried flowers and leaves of plants selected to produce high levels of THC. Various extracts including
hashish and hash oil are also produced. The cultivation and possession of Cannabis for recreational use is outlawed in most countries.
