Description

Cannabis is a psychoactive drug derived from the Cannabis plant. It is most commonly used for recreational and medicinal purposes. Cannabis can be consumed in various forms, including dried flower, edibles, oils, and concentrates.

The primary active ingredient in cannabis is delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). THC is responsible for the psychoactive effects of cannabis, such as euphoria, relaxation, and altered perception of time.

Cannabis can have both short-term and long-term toxic effects. Short-term effects include impaired coordination, difficulty concentrating, and impaired judgment. Long-term effects include an increased risk of addiction, respiratory problems, and mental health issues.
