Cannabis is extracted from the cannabis plant or cannabis sativa. This wild plant can be found in tropical countries worldwide. It grows in nearly all types of climates and is cultivated all the more through indoor hydroponic technology. Cannabis’ main active ingredient is delta-9 tetrahydro-cannabinol or THC. This chemical is a component of the plant that is capable of making a person “high”. The difference among cannabis products lies in the potency of THC found in each of them. Cannabis is used mainly in the form of marijuana, hash oil and hashish. Marijuana is made from the mixture of dried leaves and flowers of the cannabis plant. Among all the cannabis products, marijuana is the least potent and is often smoked or eaten in products like brownies or cookies. Hashish is made from resin (a gum emitted) of the plant cannabis. This is dried, pressed into tiny blocks then smoked. Also, it can be included in food to be eaten. The most potent cannabis product is hash oil. This thick oil is taken from hashish. Hash oil can be smoked as well. Usually, cannabis is smoked in “joints”, hand-rolled cigarettes or “bongs”, special glass water pipes. Bongs or pipes can either be bought or made from things like soft drink cans, orange juice bottle or toilet rolls. How Many People Use Cannabis?
