MARIJUANA

Assalamualaikum and a very good evening to everyone. I would like to share about Marijuana which is most commonly used illegal in the world. Anyway before I explain further about the Marijuana did anyone knows what is Marijuana?

Marijuana have a lot of street names such as astro turf, bhang, dagga, dope, ganja,home grown, J, Mary Jane,reefer, roach, Texas tea and weed. In Malaysia Marijuana is known as "Ganja" which is illegal in the country even though smoking is more dangerous compared to Marijuana. Marijuana actually is cannabis that derived from the cannabis plant (cannabis sativa). It grows wild in many of the tropical and temperate areas of the world.

There are the three distinctive subspecies of the cannabis plant: cannabis sativa (which tends to grow tall and stalky), cannabis indica (which tends to grow smaller and bushier), or cannabis ruderalis (found primarily in Russia and Eastern Europe.)

The main active ingredient in cannabis is called delta-9 tetrahydro-cannabinol, commonly known as THC. This is the part of the plant that gives the "high." There is a wide range of THC potency between cannabis products. Marijuana is made from dried flowers and leaves of the cannabis plant. It is the least potent of all the cannabis products and is usually smoked or made into edible products like cookies or brownies .It is dried and pressed into small blocks and smoked. It can also be added to food and eaten. Hash oil, the most potent cannabis product, is a thick oil obtained from hashish. It is also smoked.

Cannabis is usually smoked in hand-rolled cigarettes (known as "joints") or in special waterpipes ("bongs"). These pipes or bongs can be bought or made from things such as orange juice containers, soft drink cans or even toilet rolls.
