What Is Marijuana?

What Is Marijuana?

Marijuana, also called weedcannabis, bud, Mary Jane, and a vast number of other slang in the streets is a greenish-gray mixture of the dried flowers of Cannabis sativa. Marijuana contains mind-altering (psychoactive) compounds like tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, as well as other active compounds like cannabidiol, or CBD, that are not mind-altering. 

The THC is found in resin produced by the leaves and buds primarily of the female cannabis plant. The plant also contains more than 500 other chemicals, including more than 100 compounds that are chemically related to THC, called cannabinoids.

Marijuana can also be defined as a psychoactive drug from the Cannabis plant used mostly for medical or recreational purposes. The main psychoactive component of cannabis is tetrahydrocannabinol, which is one of the 483 known compounds in the plant, including at least 65 other cannabinoids. 

Cannabis plant in early growing stages

Marijuana is sold in a mixture of dried-out leaves, stems, flowers, and seeds of the hemp plant. It is usually green, brown, or gray in color. It is a drug like alcohol, cocaine, or ecstasy. And like these drugs, it has some side effects that can be harmful

Marijuana is smoked by rolling it like a cigarette (joint), but may also be smoked in a dry pipe or a water pipe known as a “bong.” It can also be mixed with food and eaten or brewed as a tea. 

These are called “edibles” and are covered in detail later in black net sales. Sometimes users open up cigars and remove the tobacco, replacing it with pot called a “blunt.” Joints and blunts are sometimes laced with other, more powerful drugs, such as heroin and crack cocaine.

Marijuana hybrid strains provide the effects of Sativa and Indica cannabis strains. The hybrid effects are determined by the parent plant genetics in a process called cross-breeding. The effects or “high” of this strain type include uplifting, relaxed, happy, energetic or tired, hungry, sleepy. 

They can be Indica dominant, Sativa dominant, or balanced. Their appearances and effects are heavily influenced by their parentage. For example, there can be tall Indica dominant hybrids or short Sativa dominant strains. Hybrids are a primary marijuana strain type that lives between Indicas and Sativas. 

Hybrid strains are classified by their ability to produce a unique balance of Indica and Sativa effects. Marijuana hybrids can be both energizing and relaxing, depending on their specific strain lineage.

What Is A Marijuana Strain?

Cannabis strains are either pure or hybrid varieties of the plant genus Cannabis, which encompasses the species C. SativaC. Indica, and C. Ruderalis.



The term used interchangeably with “cultivar,” “variety,” and “selection” within the cannabis industry. It has no official botanical meaning and has fallen out of favor in horticultural circles. In the world of cannabis, the term “strain” refers to the flower’s particular variety, be it Sour Diesel, Northern Lights, or Jack Herer.

Cannabis strains commonly refer to those varieties with recreational and medicinal use. These varieties have been cultivated to contain a high percentage of cannabinoids. Several varieties of cannabis, known as hemp, have a very low cannabinoid content and are instead grown for their fiber and seed.
