Cannabis (Cannabis sativa)

Cannabis (Cannabis sativa) is a plant used both medically and recreationally. It contains compounds called cannabinoids, such as THC and CBD, which can affect mood, perception, and pain. THC is responsible for the psychoactive "high," while CBD is often used for its potential therapeutic benefits without feeling intoxicated. Cannabis can be consumed in various forms, including flowers, oils, edibles, and vaporizers. Its use is regulated differently around the world, with some places legalizing it for medical or recreational purposes, while others restrict or prohibit it. It has both potential health benefits and risks, depending on use and individual factors.
