Weed
Weed, also known as marijuana or cannabis, is a plant that contains active chemicals called cannabinoids, primarily THC and CBD. THC produces psychoactive effects, making users feel altered perceptions and euphoria, while CBD is often used for medicinal purposes without the "high." People use weed both recreationally and medically—to relax, enhance mood, or alleviate pain and anxiety. It can be consumed in various forms, including smoked, vaporized, or as edibles. Legal status varies by location, with some regions permitting medical or recreational use, and others maintaining restrictions due to health and legal considerations.
