What is Marijuana

Marijuana is a mixture of dried, shredded flowers and leaves of the hemp plant (Cannabis Sativa). It’s also called, among other names, pot, dope, weed, grass, ganja and chronic. There are more than 200 slang terms for marijuana.

Sinsemilla, hashish and hash oil are stronger forms of marijuana which come from the same plant.
