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.
