Marijuana- Informing The Public


The Marijuana originated from Central Asia from the cannabis plant. Cannabis sativa

was originally used for the fiber found in the plant’s stem called hemp, which made

rope clothes and other items. Marijuana is a green, brown, or gray mixture of

dried, shredded leaves, stems, seeds, and flowers of the hemp plant. Marijuana has

over 200 slang names which include pot, herb, weed, grass, boom, Mary Jane,

gangster, or chronic. Most marijuana grown in the United States since the late 1980s

is hybrids of the Cannabis Sativa and Cannabis indica which yield a much more potent

product than the marijuana of the past. Cannabis sativa is mostly found in warm

climates while Cannabis indica is found in colder climates. So the hybrid allows for

marijuana to be grown in just about any climate in the United States and other parts

of the world.
