Cannabis (/ˈkænəbɪs/)[2] is a genus of flowering plants in the family Cannabaceae. The number of species within the genus is disputed. Three species may be recognized: Cannabis sativa, C. indica, and C. ruderalis. Alternatively, C. ruderalis may be included within C. sativa, all three may be treated as subspecies of C. sativa,[1][3][4][5] or C. sativa may be accepted as a single undivided species.[6] The genus is widely accepted as being indigenous to and originating from Asia.[7][8][9]

The plant is also known as hemp, although this term is often used to refer only to varieties of Cannabis cultivated for non-drug use. Cannabis has long been used for hemp fibre, hemp seeds and their oils, hemp leaves for use as vegetables and as juice, medicinal purposes, and as a recreational drug. Industrial hemp products are made from cannabis plants selected to produce an abundance of fibre. Various cannabis strains have been bred, often selectively to produce high or low levels of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), a cannabinoid and the plant's principal psychoactive constituent. Compounds such as hashish and hash oil are extracted from the plant.[10]

Description

Cannabis is an annual, dioecious, flowering herb. The leaves are palmately compound or digitate, with serrate leaflets.[11] The first pair of leaves usually have a single leaflet, the number gradually increasing up to a maximum of about thirteen leaflets per leaf (usually seven or nine), depending on variety and growing conditions. At the top of a flowering plant, this number again diminishes to a single leaflet per leaf. The lower leaf pairs usually occur in an opposite leaf arrangement and the upper leaf pairs in an alternate arrangement on the main stem of a mature plant.

The leaves have a peculiar and diagnostic venation pattern (which varies slightly among varieties) that allows for easy identification of cannabis leaves from unrelated species with similar leaves. As is common in serrated leaves, each serration has a central vein extending to its tip, but in cannabis this originates from lower down the central vein of the leaflet, typically opposite to the position of the second notch down. This means that on its way from the midrib of the leaflet to the point of the serration, the vein serving the tip of the serration passes close by the intervening notch. Sometimes the vein will pass tangentially to the notch, but often will pass by at a small distance; when the latter happens a spur vein (or occasionally two) branches off and joins the leaf margin at the deepest point of the notch. Tiny samples of Cannabis also can be identified with precision by microscopic examination of leaf cells and similar features, requiring special equipment and expertise.[12]

Reproduction

All known strains of Cannabis are wind-pollinated[13] and the fruit is an achene.[14] Most strains of Cannabis are short day plants,[13] with the possible exception of C. sativa subsp. sativa var. spontanea (= C. ruderalis), which is commonly described as "auto-flowering" and may be day-neutral.

Cannabis is predominantly dioecious,[13][15] having imperfect flowers, with staminate "male" and pistillate "female" flowers occurring on separate plants.[16] "At a very early period the Chinese recognized the Cannabis plant as dioecious",[17] and the (c. 3rd century BCE) Erya dictionary defined xi 枲 "male Cannabis" and fu 莩 (or ju 苴) "female Cannabis".[18] Male flowers are normally borne on loose panicles, and female flowers are borne on racemes.[19]

Many monoecious varieties have also been described,[20] in which individual plants bear both male and female flowers.[21] (Although monoecious plants are often referred to as "hermaphrodites", true hermaphrodites – which are less common in Cannabis – bear staminate and pistillate structures together on individual flowers, whereas monoecious plants bear male and female flowers at different locations on the same plant.) Subdioecy (the occurrence of monoecious individuals and dioecious individuals within the same population) is widespread.[22][23][24] Many populations have been described as sexually labile.[25][26][27]

As a result of intensive selection in cultivation, Cannabis exhibits many sexual phenotypes that can be described in terms of the ratio of female to male flowers occurring in the individual, or typical in the cultivar.[28] Dioecious varieties are preferred for drug production, where the fruits (produced by female flowers) are used. Dioecious varieties are also preferred for textile fiber production, whereas monoecious varieties are preferred for pulp and paper production. It has been suggested that the presence of monoecy can be used to differentiate licit crops of monoecious hemp from illicit drug crops,[22] but sativa strains often produce monoecious individuals, which is possibly as a result of inbreeding.

Sex determination

See also: Cytogenetics § History

Cannabis has been described as having one of the most complicated mechanisms of sex determination among the dioecious plants.[28] Many models have been proposed to explain sex determination in Cannabis.

Based on studies of sex reversal in hemp, it was first reported by K. Hirata in 1924 that an XY sex-determination system is present.[26] At the time, the XY system was the only known system of sex determination. The X:A system was first described in Drosophila spp in 1925.[29] Soon thereafter, Schaffner disputed Hirata's interpretation,[30] and published results from his own studies of sex reversal in hemp, concluding that an X:A system was in use and that furthermore sex was strongly influenced by environmental conditions.[27]

Since then, many different types of sex determination systems have been discovered, particularly in plants.[15] Dioecy is relatively uncommon in the plant kingdom, and a very low percentage of dioecious plant species have been determined to use the XY system. In most cases where the XY system is found it is believed to have evolved recently and independently.[31]

Since the 1920s, a number of sex determination models have been proposed for Cannabis. Ainsworth describes sex determination in the genus as using "an X/autosome dosage type".[15]

The question of whether heteromorphic sex chromosomes are indeed present is most conveniently answered if such chromosomes were clearly visible in a karyotype. Cannabis was one of the first plant species to be karyotyped; however, this was in a period when karyotype preparation was primitive by modern standards. Heteromorphic sex chromosomes were reported to occur in staminate individuals of dioecious "Kentucky" hemp, but were not found in pistillate individuals of the same variety. Dioecious "Kentucky" hemp was assumed to use an XY mechanism. Heterosomes were not observed in analyzed individuals of monoecious "Kentucky" hemp, nor in an unidentified German cultivar. These varieties were assumed to have sex chromosome composition XX.[32] According to other researchers, no modern karyotype of Cannabis had been published as of 1996.[33] Proponents of the XY system state that Y chromosome is slightly larger than the X, but difficult to differentiate cytologically.[34]

More recently, Sakamoto and various co-authors[35][36] have used random amplification of polymorphic DNA (RAPD) to isolate several genetic marker sequences that they name Male-Associated DNA in Cannabis (MADC), and which they interpret as indirect evidence of a male chromosome. Several other research groups have reported identification of male-associated markers using RAPD and amplified fragment length polymorphism.[37][25][38] Ainsworth commented on these findings, stating,

It is not surprising that male-associated markers are relatively abundant. In dioecious plants where sex chromosomes have not been identified, markers for maleness indicate either the presence of sex chromosomes which have not been distinguished by cytological methods or that the marker is tightly linked to a gene involved in sex determination.[15]

Environmental sex determination is known to occur in a variety of species.[39] Many researchers have suggested that sex in Cannabis is determined or strongly influenced by environmental factors.[27] Ainsworth reviews that treatment with auxin and ethylene have feminizing effects, and that treatment with cytokinins and gibberellins have masculinizing effects.[15] It has been reported that sex can be reversed in Cannabis using chemical treatment.[40] A polymerase chain reaction-based method for the detection of female-associated DNA polymorphisms by genotyping has been developed.[41]

Chemistry

See also: Chemical defenses in Cannabis

Cannabis plants produce a large number of chemicals as part of their defense against herbivory. One group of these is called cannabinoids, which induce mental and physical effects when consumed.

Cannabinoids, terpenoids, and other compounds are secreted by glandular trichomes that occur most abundantly on the floral calyxes and bracts of female plants.[42]

Genetics

Cannabis, like many organisms, is diploid, having a chromosome complement of 2n=20, although polyploid individuals have been artificially produced.[43] The first genome sequence of Cannabis, which is estimated to be 820 Mb in size, was published in 2011 by a team of Canadian scientists.[44]

Taxonomy

The genus Cannabis was formerly placed in the nettle family (Urticaceae) or mulberry family (Moraceae), and later, along with the genus Humulus (hops), in a separate family, the hemp family (Cannabaceae sensu stricto).[45] Recent phylogenetic studies based on cpDNA restriction site analysis and gene sequencing strongly suggest that the Cannabaceae sensu stricto arose from within the former family Celtidaceae, and that the two families should be merged to form a single monophyletic family, the Cannabaceae sensu lato.[46][47]

Various types of Cannabis have been described, and variously classified as species, subspecies, or varieties:[48]

  • plants cultivated for fiber and seed production, described as low-intoxicant, non-drug, or fiber types.
  • plants cultivated for drug production, described as high-intoxicant or drug types.
  • escaped, hybridised, or wild forms of either of the above types.

Cannabis plants produce a unique family of terpeno-phenolic compounds called cannabinoids, some of which produce the "high" which may be experienced from consuming marijuana. There are 483 identifiable chemical constituents known to exist in the cannabis plant,[49] and at least 85 different cannabinoids have been isolated from the plant.[50] The two cannabinoids usually produced in greatest abundance are cannabidiol (CBD) and/or Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), but only THC is psychoactive.[51] Since the early 1970s, Cannabis plants have been categorized by their chemical phenotype or "chemotype", based on the overall amount of THC produced, and on the ratio of THC to CBD.[52] Although overall cannabinoid production is influenced by environmental factors, the THC/CBD ratio is genetically determined and remains fixed throughout the life of a plant.[37] Non-drug plants produce relatively low levels of THC and high levels of CBD, while drug plants produce high levels of THC and low levels of CBD. When plants of these two chemotypes cross-pollinate, the plants in the first filial (F1) generation have an intermediate chemotype and produce intermediate amounts of CBD and THC. Female plants of this chemotype may produce enough THC to be utilized for drug production.[52][53]

Whether the drug and non-drug, cultivated and wild types of Cannabis constitute a single, highly variable species, or the genus is polytypic with more than one species, has been a subject of debate for well over two centuries. This is a contentious issue because there is no universally accepted definition of a species.[54] One widely applied criterion for species recognition is that species are "groups of actually or potentially interbreeding natural populations which are reproductively isolated from other such groups."[55] Populations that are physiologically capable of interbreeding, but morphologically or genetically divergent and isolated by geography or ecology, are sometimes considered to be separate species.[55] Physiological barriers to reproduction are not known to occur within Cannabis, and plants from widely divergent sources are interfertile.[43] However, physical barriers to gene exchange (such as the Himalayan mountain range) might have enabled Cannabis gene pools to diverge before the onset of human intervention, resulting in speciation.[56] It remains controversial whether sufficient morphological and genetic divergence occurs within the genus as a result of geographical or ecological isolation to justify recognition of more than one species.[57][58][59]

Early classifications

 
Relative size of varieties of Cannabis

The genus Cannabis was first classified using the "modern" system of taxonomic nomenclature by Carl Linnaeus in 1753, who devised the system still in use for the naming of species.[60] He considered the genus to be monotypic, having just a single species that he named Cannabis sativa L. (L. stands for Linnaeus, and indicates the authority who first named the species). Linnaeus was familiar with European hemp, which was widely cultivated at the time. In 1785, noted evolutionary biologist Jean-Baptiste de Lamarck published a description of a second species of Cannabis, which he named Cannabis indica Lam.[61] Lamarck based his description of the newly named species on plant specimens collected in India. He described C. indica as having poorer fiber quality than C. sativa, but greater utility as an inebriant. Additional Cannabis species were proposed in the 19th century, including strains from China and Vietnam (Indo-China) assigned the names Cannabis chinensis Delile, and Cannabis gigantea Delile ex Vilmorin.[62] However, many taxonomists found these putative species difficult to distinguish. In the early 20th century, the single-species concept was still widely accepted, except in the Soviet Union where Cannabis continued to be the subject of active taxonomic study. The name Cannabis indica was listed in various Pharmacopoeias, and was widely used to designate Cannabis suitable for the manufacture of medicinal preparations.[63]

20th century

Further information: Feral cannabis

In 1924, Russian botanist D.E. Janichevsky concluded that ruderal Cannabis in central Russia is either a variety of C. sativa or a separate species, and proposed C. sativa L. var. ruderalis Janisch, and Cannabis ruderalis Janisch, as alternative names.[48] In 1929, renowned plant explorer Nikolai Vavilov assigned wild or feral populations of Cannabis in Afghanistan to C. indica Lam. var. kafiristanica Vav., and ruderal populations in Europe to C. sativa L. var. spontanea Vav.[53][62] In 1940, Russian botanists Serebriakova and Sizov proposed a complex classification in which they also recognized C. sativa and C. indica as separate species. Within C. sativa they recognized two subspecies: C. sativa L. subsp. culta Serebr. (consisting of cultivated plants), and C. sativa L. subsp. spontanea (Vav.) Serebr. (consisting of wild or feral plants). Serebriakova and Sizov split the two C. sativa subspecies into 13 varieties, including four distinct groups within subspecies culta. However, they did not divide C. indica into subspecies or varieties.[48][64]

In the 1970s, the taxonomic classification of Cannabis took on added significance in North America. Laws prohibiting Cannabis in the United States and Canada specifically named products of C. sativa as prohibited materials. Enterprising attorneys for the defense in a few drug busts argued that the seized Cannabis material may not have been C. sativa, and was therefore not prohibited by law. Attorneys on both sides recruited botanists to provide expert testimony. Among those testifying for the prosecution was Dr. Ernest Small, while Dr. Richard E. Schultes and others testified for the defense. The botanists engaged in heated debate (outside of court), and both camps impugned the other's integrity.[57][58] The defense attorneys were not often successful in winning their case, because the intent of the law was clear.[65]

In 1976, Canadian botanist Ernest Small[66] and American taxonomist Arthur Cronquist published a taxonomic revision that recognizes a single species of Cannabis with two subspecies and two varieties in each. The framework is thus:

  • C. sativa L. subsp. sativa, presumably selected for traits that enhance fiber or seed production.
    • C. sativa L. subsp. sativa var. sativa, domesticated variety.
    • C. sativa L. subsp. sativa var. spontanea Vav., wild or escaped variety.
  • C. sativa L. subsp. indica (Lam.) Small & Cronq.,[62] primarily selected for drug production.
    • C. sativa L. subsp. indica var. indica, domesticated variety.
    • C. sativa subsp. indica var. kafiristanica (Vav.) Small & Cronq, wild or escaped variety.

This classification was based on several factors including interfertility, chromosome uniformity, chemotype, and numerical analysis of phenotypic characters.[52][62][67]

Professors William Emboden, Loran Anderson, and Harvard botanist Richard E. Schultes and coworkers also conducted taxonomic studies of Cannabis in the 1970s, and concluded that stable morphological differences exist that support recognition of at least three species, C. sativa, C. indica, and C. ruderalis.[68][69][70][71] For Schultes, this was a reversal of his previous interpretation that Cannabis is monotypic, with only a single species.[72] According to Schultes' and Anderson's descriptions, C. sativa is tall and laxly branched with relatively narrow leaflets, C. indica is shorter, conical in shape, and has relatively wide leaflets, and C. ruderalis is short, branchless, and grows wild in Central Asia. This taxonomic interpretation was embraced by Cannabis aficionados who commonly distinguish narrow-leafed "sativa" strains from wide-leafed "indica" strains.[73] McPartland's review finds the Schultes taxonomy inconsistent with prior work (protologs) and partly responsible for the popular usage.[74]

Continuing research

Molecular analytical techniques developed in the late 20th century are being applied to questions of taxonomic classification. This has resulted in many reclassifications based on evolutionary systematics. Several studies of random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and other types of genetic markers have been conducted on drug and fiber strains of Cannabis, primarily for plant breeding and forensic purposes.[75][76][25][77][78] Dutch Cannabis researcher E.P.M. de Meijer and coworkers described some of their RAPD studies as showing an "extremely high" degree of genetic polymorphism between and within populations, suggesting a high degree of potential variation for selection, even in heavily selected hemp cultivars.[37] They also commented that these analyses confirm the continuity of the Cannabis gene pool throughout the studied accessions, and provide further confirmation that the genus consists of a single species, although theirs was not a systematic study per se.

An investigation of genetic, morphological, and chemotaxonomic variation among 157 Cannabis accessions of known geographic origin, including fiber, drug, and feral populations showed cannabinoid variation in Cannabis germplasm. The patterns of cannabinoid variation support recognition of C. sativa and C. indica as separate species, but not C. ruderalis. C. sativa contains fiber and seed landraces, and feral populations, derived from Europe, Central Asia, and Turkey. Narrow-leaflet and wide-leaflet drug accessions, southern and eastern Asian hemp accessions, and feral Himalayan populations were assigned to C. indica.[53] In 2005, a genetic analysis of the same set of accessions led to a three-species classification, recognizing C. sativa, C. indica, and (tentatively) C. ruderalis.[56] Another paper in the series on chemotaxonomic variation in the terpenoid content of the essential oil of Cannabis revealed that several wide-leaflet drug strains in the collection had relatively high levels of certain sesquiterpene alcohols, including guaiol and isomers of eudesmol, that set them apart from the other putative taxa.[79]

An 2020 analysis of single-nucleotide polymorphisms reports five clusters of Cannabis, roughly corresponding to hemps (including folk "Ruderalis"), folk "Indica", and folk "Sativa".[80]

Despite advanced analytical techniques, much of the cannabis used recreationally is inaccurately classified. One laboratory at the University of British Columbia found that Jamaican Lamb's Bread, claimed to be 100% sativa, was in fact almost 100% indica (the opposite strain).[81] Legalization of cannabis in Canada (as of 17 October 2018) may help spur private-sector research, especially in terms of diversification of strains. It should also improve classification accuracy for cannabis used recreationally. Legalization coupled with Canadian government (Health Canada) oversight of production and labelling will likely result in more—and more accurate—testing to determine exact strains and content. Furthermore, the rise of craft cannabis growers in Canada should ensure quality, experimentation/research, and diversification of strains among private-sector producers.[82]

Popular usage

Popular terms are discerned from scientific taxonomy by the lack of italics, use of quotes and uppercasing.

The scientific debate regarding taxonomy has had little effect on the terminology in widespread use among cultivators and users of drug-type Cannabis. Cannabis aficionados recognize three distinct types based on such factors as morphology, native range, aroma, and subjective psychoactive characteristics. "Sativa" is the most widespread variety, which is usually tall, laxly branched, and found in warm lowland regions. "Indica" designates shorter, bushier plants adapted to cooler climates and highland environments. "Ruderalis" is the informal name for the short plants that grow wild in Europe and Central Asia.[74]

Mapping the morphological concepts to scientific names in the Small 1976 framework, "Sativa" generally refers to C. sativa subsp. indica var. indica, "Indica" generally refers to C. sativa subsp. i. kafiristanica (also known as afghanica), and "Ruderalis", being lower in THC, is the one that can fall into C. sativa subsp. sativa. The three names fit in Schultes's framework better, if one overlooks its inconsistencies with prior work.[74] Definitions of the three terms using factors other than morphology produces different, often conflicting results.

Breeders, seed companies, and cultivators of drug type Cannabis often describe the ancestry or gross phenotypic characteristics of cultivars by categorizing them as "pure indica", "mostly indica", "indica/sativa", "mostly sativa", or "pure sativa". These categories are highly arbitrary, however: one "AK-47" hybrid strain has received both "Best Sativa" and "Best Indica" awards.[74]

Phylogeny

Cannabis likely split from its closest relative, Humulus (hops), during the mid Oligocene, around 27.8 million years ago according to molecular clock estimates. The centre of origin of Cannabis is likely in the northeastern Tibetan Plateau. The pollen of Humulus and Cannabis are very similar and difficult to distinguish. The oldest pollen thought to be from Cannabis is from Ningxia, China, on the boundary between the Tibetan Plateau and the Loess Plateau, dating to the early Miocene, around 19.6 million years ago. Cannabis was widely distributed over Asia by the Late Pleistocene. The oldest known Cannabis in South Asia dates to around 32,000 years ago.[83]

Etymology

Main article: Etymology of cannabis
Further information: List of names for cannabis and Marijuana (word)

The word cannabis is from Greek κάνναβις (kánnabis) (see Latin cannabis),[84] which was originally Scythian or Thracian.[85] It is related to the Persian kanab, the English canvas and possibly the English hemp (Old English hænep).[85]

Uses

Cannabis is used for a wide variety of purposes.

History

Main article: History of cannabis

According to genetic and archaeological evidence, cannabis was first domesticated about 12,000 years ago in East Asia during the early Neolithic period.[9] The use of cannabis as a mind-altering drug has been documented by archaeological finds in prehistoric societies in Eurasia and Africa.[86] The oldest written record of cannabis usage is the Greek historian Herodotus's reference to the central Eurasian Scythians taking cannabis steam baths.[87] His (c. 440 BCE) Histories records, "The Scythians, as I said, take some of this hemp-seed [presumably, flowers], and, creeping under the felt coverings, throw it upon the red-hot stones; immediately it smokes, and gives out such a vapour as no Greek vapour-bath can exceed; the Scyths, delighted, shout for joy."[88] Classical Greeks and Romans also used cannabis.

In China, the psychoactive properties of cannabis are described in the Shennong Bencaojing (3rd century AD).[89] Cannabis smoke was inhaled by Daoists, who burned it in incense burners.[89]

In the Middle East, use spread throughout the Islamic empire to North Africa. In 1545, cannabis spread to the western hemisphere where Spaniards imported it to Chile for its use as fiber. In North America, cannabis, in the form of hemp, was grown for use in rope, cloth and paper.[90][91][92][93]

Cannabinol (CBN) was the first compound to be isolated from cannabis extract in the late 1800s. Its structure and chemical synthesis were achieved by 1940, followed by some of the first preclinical research studies to determine the effects of individual cannabis-derived compounds in vivo.[94]

Globally, in 2013, 60,400 kilograms of cannabis were produced legally.[95]

Recreational use

Cannabis is a popular recreational drug around the world, only behind alcohol, caffeine, and tobacco. In the U.S. alone, it is believed that over 100 million Americans have tried cannabis, with 25 million Americans having used it within the past year.[when?][97] As a drug it usually comes in the form of dried infructescences ("buds" or "marijuana"), resin (hashish), or various extracts collectively known as hash oil.[10] During the 20th century, it became illegal in most of the world to cultivate or possess Cannabis for sale, and even sometimes for personal use.

The psychoactive effects of cannabis are known to have a triphasic nature. Primary psychoactive effects include a state of relaxation, and to a lesser degree, euphoria from its main psychoactive compound, THC. Secondary psychoactive effects, such as a facility for philosophical thinking, introspection and metacognition have been reported among cases of anxiety and paranoia.[98] Finally, the tertiary psychoactive effects of the drug cannabis, can include an increase in heart rate and hunger, believed to be caused by 11-OH-THC, a psychoactive metabolite of THC produced in the liver.

Normal cognition is restored after approximately three hours for larger doses via a smoking pipe, bong or vaporizer.[98] However, if a large amount is taken orally the effects may last much longer. After 24 hours to a few days, minuscule psychoactive effects may be felt, depending on dosage, frequency and tolerance to the drug.

Various forms of the drug cannabis exist, including extracts such as hashish and hash oil[10] which, because of appearance, are more susceptible to adulterants when left unregulated.

Cannabidiol (CBD), which has no intoxicating effects by itself[51] (although sometimes showing a small stimulant effect, similar to caffeine),[99] is thought to attenuate (i.e., reduce)[100] the anxiety-inducing effects of high doses of THC, particularly if administered orally prior to THC exposure.[101]

According to Delphic analysis by British researchers in 2007, cannabis has a lower risk factor for dependence compared to both nicotine and alcohol.[102] However, everyday use of cannabis may be correlated with psychological withdrawal symptoms, such as irritability or insomnia,[98] and susceptibility to a panic attack may increase as levels of THC metabolites rise.[103][104] Cannabis withdrawal symptoms are typically mild and are not life-threatening.[105] Risk of adverse outcomes from cannabis use may be reduced by implementation of evidence-based education and intervention tools communicated to the public with practical regulation measures.[106]

In 2014 there were an estimated 182.5 million cannabis users worldwide (3.8% of the global population aged 15–64).[107] This percentage did not change significantly between 1998 and 2014.[107]

Medical use

Main article: Medical cannabis

Medical cannabis (or medical marijuana) refers to the use of cannabis and its constituent cannabinoids, in an effort to treat disease or improve symptoms. Cannabis is used to reduce nausea and vomiting during chemotherapy, to improve appetite in people with HIV/AIDS, and to treat chronic pain and muscle spasms.[108][109] Cannabinoids are under preliminary research for their potential to affect stroke.[110] Evidence is lacking for depression, anxiety, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, Tourette syndrome, post-traumatic stress disorder, and psychosis.[111] Two extracts of cannabis – dronabinol and nabilone – are approved by the FDA as medications in pill form for treating the side effects of chemotherapy and AIDS.[112]

Short-term use increases both minor and major adverse effects.[109] Common side effects include dizziness, feeling tired, vomiting, and hallucinations.[109] Long-term effects of cannabis are not clear.[113] Concerns including memory and cognition problems, risk of addiction, schizophrenia in young people, and the risk of children taking it by accident.[108]

Industrial use (hemp)

Main article: Cannabis (industrial uses)
 
Cannabis sativa stem longitudinal section

The term hemp is used to name the durable soft fiber from the Cannabis plant stem (stalk). Cannabis sativa cultivars are used for fibers due to their long stems; Sativa varieties may grow more than six metres tall. However, hemp can refer to any industrial or foodstuff product that is not intended for use as a drug. Many countries regulate limits for psychoactive compound (THC) concentrations in products labeled as hemp.

Cannabis for industrial uses is valuable in tens of thousands of commercial products, especially as fibre[114] ranging from paper, cordage, construction material and textiles in general, to clothing. Hemp is stronger and longer-lasting than cotton. It also is a useful source of foodstuffs (hemp milk, hemp seed, hemp oil) and biofuels. Hemp has been used by many civilizations, from China to Europe (and later North America) during the last 12,000 years.[114][115] In modern times novel applications and improvements have been explored with modest commercial success.[116][117]

In the US, "industrial hemp" is classified by the federal government as cannabis containing no more than 0.3% THC by dry weight. This classification was established in the 2018 Farm Bill and was refined to include hemp-sourced extracts, cannabinoids, and derivatives in the definition of hemp.[118]

Ancient and religious uses

The Cannabis plant has a history of medicinal use dating back thousands of years across many cultures.[119] The Yanghai Tombs, a vast ancient cemetery (54 000 m2) situated in the Turfan district of the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region in northwest China, have revealed the 2700-year-old grave of a shaman. He is thought to have belonged to the Jushi culture recorded in the area centuries later in the Hanshu, Chap 96B.[120] Near the head and foot of the shaman was a large leather basket and wooden bowl filled with 789g of cannabis, superbly preserved by climatic and burial conditions. An international team demonstrated that this material contained THC. The cannabis was presumably employed by this culture as a medicinal or psychoactive agent, or an aid to divination. This is the oldest documentation of cannabis as a pharmacologically active agent.[121] The earliest evidence of cannabis smoking has been found in the 2,500-year-old tombs of Jirzankal Cemetery in the Pamir Mountains in Western China, where cannabis residue were found in burners with charred pebbles possibly used during funeral rituals.[122][123]

Settlements which date from c. 2200–1700 BCE in the Bactria and Margiana contained elaborate ritual structures with rooms containing everything needed for making drinks containing extracts from poppy (opium), hemp (cannabis), and ephedra (which contains ephedrine).[124]: 262  Although there is no evidence of ephedra being used by steppe tribes, they engaged in cultic use of hemp. Cultic use ranged from Romania to the Yenisei River and had begun by 3rd millennium BC Smoking hemp has been found at Pazyryk.[124]: 306 

Cannabis is first referred to in Hindu Vedas between 2000 and 1400 BCE, in the Atharvaveda. By the 10th century CE, it has been suggested that it was referred to by some in India as "food of the gods".[125] Cannabis use eventually became a ritual part of the Hindu festival of Holi. One of the earliest to use this plant in medical purposes was Korakkar, one of the 18 Siddhas.[126][127][self-published source?] The plant is called Korakkar Mooli in the Tamil language, meaning Korakkar's herb.[128][129]

In Buddhism, cannabis is generally regarded as an intoxicant and may be a hindrance to development of meditation and clear awareness. In ancient Germanic culture, Cannabis was associated with the Norse love goddess, Freya.[130][131] An anointing oil mentioned in Exodus is, by some translators, said to contain Cannabis.[132] Sufis have used Cannabis in a spiritual context since the 13th century CE.[133]

In modern times, the Rastafari movement has embraced Cannabis as a sacrament.[134] Elders of the Ethiopian Zion Coptic Church, a religious movement founded in the U.S. in 1975 with no ties to either Ethiopia or the Coptic Church, consider Cannabis to be the Eucharist, claiming it as an oral tradition from Ethiopia dating back to the time of Christ.[135] Like the Rastafari, some modern Gnostic Christian sects have asserted that Cannabis is the Tree of Life.[136][137] Other organized religions founded in the 20th century that treat Cannabis as a sacrament are the THC Ministry,[138] Cantheism,[139] the Cannabis Assembly[140] and the Church of Cognizance.

Cannabis is frequently used among Sufis[141] – the mystical interpretation of Islam that exerts strong influence over local Muslim practices in Bangladesh, India, Indonesia, Turkey, and Pakistan. Cannabis preparations are frequently used at Sufi festivals in those countries.[141] Pakistan's Shrine of Lal Shahbaz Qalandar in Sindh province is particularly renowned for the widespread use of cannabis at the shrine's celebrations, especially its annual Urs festival and Thursday evening dhamaal sessions – or meditative dancing sessions.[142][143]

External linksDescription Cannabis growing as weeds at the foot of Dhaulagiri Nepal A thicket of wild cannabis in Islamabad Pakistan Cannabis is an annual dioecious flowering herb The leaves are palmately compound or digitate with serrate leaflets 11 The first pair of leaves usually have a single leaflet the number gradually increasing up to a maximum of about thirteen leaflets per leaf usually seven or nine depending on variety and growing conditions At the top of a flowering plant this number again diminishes to a single leaflet per leaf The lower leaf pairs usually occur in an opposite leaf arrangement and the upper leaf pairs in an alternate arrangement on the main stem of a mature plant The leaves have a peculiar and diagnostic venation pattern which varies slightly among varieties that allows for easy identification of cannabis leaves from unrelated species with similar leaves As is common in serrated leaves each serration has a central vein extending to its tip but in cannabis this originates from lower down the central vein of the leaflet typically opposite to the position of the second notch down This means that on its way from the midrib of the leaflet to the point of the serration the vein serving the tip of the serration passes close by the intervening notch Sometimes the vein will pass tangentially to the notch but often will pass by at a small distance when the latter happens a spur vein or occasionally two branches off and joins the leaf margin at the deepest point of the notch Tiny samples of Cannabis also can be identified with precision by microscopic examination of leaf cells and similar features requiring special equipment and expertise 12 Reproduction All known strains of Cannabis are wind pollinated 13 and the fruit is an achene 14 Most strains of Cannabis are short day plants 13 with the possible exception of C sativa subsp sativa var spontanea C ruderalis which is commonly described as auto flowering and may be day neutral Cannabis is predominantly dioecious 13 15 having imperfect flowers with staminate male and pistillate female flowers occurring on separate plants 16 At a very early period the Chinese recognized the Cannabis plant as dioecious 17 and the c 3rd century BCE Erya dictionary defined xi 枲 male Cannabis and fu 莩 or ju 苴 female Cannabis 18 Male flowers are normally borne on loose panicles and female flowers are borne on racemes 19 Many monoecious varieties have also been described 20 in which individual plants bear both male and female flowers 21 Although monoecious plants are often referred to as hermaphrodites true hermaphrodites which are less common in Cannabis bear staminate and pistillate structures together on individual flowers whereas monoecious plants bear male and female flowers at different locations on the same plant Subdioecy the occurrence of monoecious individuals and dioecious individuals within the same population is widespread 22 23 24 Many populations have been described as sexually labile 25 26 27 As a result of intensive selection in cultivation Cannabis exhibits many sexual phenotypes that can be described in terms of the ratio of female to male flowers occurring in the individual or typical in the cultivar 28 Dioecious varieties are preferred for drug production where the fruits produced by female flowers are used Dioecious varieties are also preferred for textile fiber production whereas monoecious varieties are preferred for pulp and paper production It has been suggested that the presence of monoecy can be used to differentiate licit crops of monoecious hemp from illicit drug crops 22 but sativa strains often produce monoecious individuals which is possibly as a result of inbreeding Cannabis female flower with visible trichomes Male Cannabis flower buds Sex determination See also Cytogenetics History Cannabis has been described as having one of the most complicated mechanisms of sex determination among the dioecious plants 28 Many models have been proposed to explain sex determination in Cannabis Based on studies of sex reversal in hemp it was first reported by K Hirata in 1924 that an XY sex determination system is present 26 At the time the XY system was the only known system of sex determination The X A system was first described in Drosophila spp in 1925 29 Soon thereafter Schaffner disputed Hirata s interpretation 30 and published results from his own studies of sex reversal in hemp concluding that an X A system was in use and that furthermore sex was strongly influenced by environmental conditions 27 Since then many different types of sex determination systems have been discovered particularly in plants 15 Dioecy is relatively uncommon in the plant kingdom and a very low percentage of dioecious plant species have been determined to use the XY system In most cases where the XY system is found it is believed to have evolved recently and independently 31 Since the 1920s a number of sex determination models have been proposed for Cannabis Ainsworth describes sex determination in the genus as using an X autosome dosage type 15 The question of whether heteromorphic sex chromosomes are indeed present is most conveniently answered if such chromosomes were clearly visible in a karyotype Cannabis was one of the first plant species to be karyotyped however this was in a period when karyotype preparation was primitive by modern standards Heteromorphic sex chromosomes were reported to occur in staminate individuals of dioecious Kentucky hemp but were not found in pistillate individuals of the same variety Dioecious Kentucky hemp was assumed to use an XY mechanism Heterosomes were not observed in analyzed individuals of monoecious Kentucky hemp nor in an unidentified German cultivar These varieties were assumed to have sex chromosome composition XX 32 According to other researchers no modern karyotype of Cannabis had been published as of 1996 33 Proponents of the XY system state that Y chromosome is slightly larger than the X but difficult to differentiate cytologically 34 More recently Sakamoto and various co authors 35 36 have used random amplification of polymorphic DNA RAPD to isolate several genetic marker sequences that they name Male Associated DNA in Cannabis MADC and which they interpret as indirect evidence of a male chromosome Several other research groups have reported identification of male associated markers using RAPD and amplified fragment length polymorphism 37 25 38 Ainsworth commented on these findings stating It is not surprising that male associated markers are relatively abundant In dioecious plants where sex chromosomes have not been identified markers for maleness indicate either the presence of sex chromosomes which have not been distinguished by cytological methods or that the marker is tightly linked to a gene involved in sex determination 15 Environmental sex determination is known to occur in a variety of species 39 Many researchers have suggested that sex in Cannabis is determined or strongly influenced by environmental factors 27 Ainsworth reviews that treatment with auxin and ethylene have feminizing effects and that treatment with cytokinins and gibberellins have masculinizing effects 15 It has been reported that sex can be reversed in Cannabis using chemical treatment 40 A polymerase chain reaction based method for the detection of female associated DNA polymorphisms by genotyping has been developed 41 A male hemp plant Dense raceme of female flowers typical of drug type varieties of CannabisChemistry See also Chemical defenses in Cannabis Cannabis plants produce a large number of chemicals as part of their defense against herbivory One group of these is called cannabinoids which induce mental and physical effects when consumed Cannabinoids terpenoids and other compounds are secreted by glandular trichomes that occur most abundantly on the floral calyxes and bracts of female plants 42 Root system side view Root system top view Micrograph C sativa left C indica right Genetics Cannabis like many organisms is diploid having a chromosome complement of 2n 20 although polyploid individuals have been artificially produced 43 The first genome sequence of Cannabis which is estimated to be 820 Mb in size was published in 2011 by a team of Canadian scientists 44 Taxonomy Underside of Cannabis sativa leaf showing diagnostic venation The genus Cannabis was formerly placed in the nettle family Urticaceae or mulberry family Moraceae and later along with the genus Humulus hops in a separate family the hemp family Cannabaceae sensu stricto 45 Recent phylogenetic studies based on cpDNA restriction site analysis and gene sequencing strongly suggest that the Cannabaceae sensu stricto arose from within the former family Celtidaceae and that the two families should be merged to form a single monophyletic family the Cannabaceae sensu lato 46 47 Various types of Cannabis have been described and variously classified as species subspecies or varieties 48 plants cultivated for fiber and seed production described as low intoxicant non drug or fiber types plants cultivated for drug production described as high intoxicant or drug types escaped hybridised or wild forms of either of the above types Cannabis plants produce a unique family of terpeno phenolic compounds called cannabinoids some of which produce the high which may be experienced from consuming marijuana There are 483 identifiable chemical constituents known to exist in the cannabis plant 49 and at least 85 different cannabinoids have been isolated from the plant 50 The two cannabinoids usually produced in greatest abundance are cannabidiol CBD and or D9 tetrahydrocannabinol THC but only THC is psychoactive 51 Since the early 1970s Cannabis plants have been categorized by their chemical phenotype or chemotype based on the overall amount of THC produced and on the ratio of THC to CBD 52 Although overall cannabinoid production is influenced by environmental factors the THC CBD ratio is genetically determined and remains fixed throughout the life of a plant 37 Non drug plants produce relatively low levels of THC and high levels of CBD while drug plants produce high levels of THC and low levels of CBD When plants of these two chemotypes cross pollinate the plants in the first filial F1 generation have an intermediate chemotype and produce intermediate amounts of CBD and THC Female plants of this chemotype may produce enough THC to be utilized for drug production 52 53 Top of Cannabis plant in vegetative growth stage Whether the drug and non drug cultivated and wild types of Cannabis constitute a single highly variable species or the genus is polytypic with more than one species has been a subject of debate for well over two centuries This is a contentious issue because there is no universally accepted definition of a species 54 One widely applied criterion for species recognition is that species are groups of actually or potentially interbreeding natural populations which are reproductively isolated from other such groups 55 Populations that are physiologically capable of interbreeding but morphologically or genetically divergent and isolated by geography or ecology are sometimes considered to be separate species 55 Physiological barriers to reproduction are not known to occur within Cannabis and plants from widely divergent sources are interfertile 43 However physical barriers to gene exchange such as the Himalayan mountain range might have enabled Cannabis gene pools to diverge before the onset of human intervention resulting in speciation 56 It remains controversial whether sufficient morphological and genetic divergence occurs within the genus as a result of geographical or ecological isolation to justify recognition of more than one species 57 58 59 Early classifications Relative size of varieties of Cannabis The genus Cannabis was first classified using the modern system of taxonomic nomenclature by Carl Linnaeus in 1753 who devised the system still in use for the naming of species 60 He considered the genus to be monotypic having just a single species that he named Cannabis sativa L L stands for Linnaeus and indicates the authority who first named the species Linnaeus was familiar with European hemp which was widely cultivated at the time In 1785 noted evolutionary biologist Jean Baptiste de Lamarck published a description of a second species of Cannabis which he named Cannabis indica Lam 61 Lamarck based his description of the newly named species on plant specimens collected in India He described C indica as having poorer fiber quality than C sativa but greater utility as an inebriant Additional Cannabis species were proposed in the 19th century including strains from China and Vietnam Indo China assigned the names Cannabis chinensis Delile and Cannabis gigantea Delile ex Vilmorin 62 However many taxonomists found these putative species difficult to distinguish In the early 20th century the single species concept was still widely accepted except in the Soviet Union where Cannabis continued to be the subject of active taxonomic study The name Cannabis indica was listed in various Pharmacopoeias and was widely used to designate Cannabis suitable for the manufacture of medicinal preparations 63 20th century Further information Feral cannabis Cannabis ruderalis In 1924 Russian botanist D E Janichevsky concluded that ruderal Cannabis in central Russia is either a variety of C sativa or a separate species and proposed C sativa L var ruderalis Janisch and Cannabis ruderalis Janisch as alternative names 48 In 1929 renowned plant explorer Nikolai Vavilov assigned wild or feral populations of Cannabis in Afghanistan to C indica Lam var kafiristanica Vav and ruderal populations in Europe to C sativa L var spontanea Vav 53 62 In 1940 Russian botanists Serebriakova and Sizov proposed a complex classification in which they also recognized C sativa and C indica as separate species Within C sativa they recognized two subspecies C sativa L subsp culta Serebr consisting of cultivated plants and C sativa L subsp spontanea Vav Serebr consisting of wild or feral plants Serebriakova and Sizov split the two C sativa subspecies into 13 varieties including four distinct groups within subspecies culta However they did not divide C indica into subspecies or varieties 48 64 In the 1970s the taxonomic classification of Cannabis took on added significance in North America Laws prohibiting Cannabis in the United States and Canada specifically named products of C sativa as prohibited materials Enterprising attorneys for the defense in a few drug busts argued that the seized Cannabis material may not have been C sativa and was therefore not prohibited by law Attorneys on both sides recruited botanists to provide expert testimony Among those testifying for the prosecution was Dr Ernest Small while Dr Richard E Schultes and others testified for the defense The botanists engaged in heated debate outside of court and both camps impugned the other s integrity 57 58 The defense attorneys were not often successful in winning their case because the intent of the law was clear 65 In 1976 Canadian botanist Ernest Small 66 and American taxonomist Arthur Cronquist published a taxonomic revision that recognizes a single species of Cannabis with two subspecies and two varieties in each The framework is thus C sativa L subsp sativa presumably selected for traits that enhance fiber or seed production C sativa L subsp sativa var sativa domesticated variety C sativa L subsp sativa var spontanea Vav wild or escaped variety C sativa L subsp indica Lam Small amp Cronq 62 primarily selected for drug production C sativa L subsp indica var indica domesticated variety C sativa subsp indica var kafiristanica Vav Small amp Cronq wild or escaped variety This classification was based on several factors including interfertility chromosome uniformity chemotype and numerical analysis of phenotypic characters 52 62 67 Professors William Emboden Loran Anderson and Harvard botanist Richard E Schultes and coworkers also conducted taxonomic studies of Cannabis in the 1970s and concluded that stable morphological differences exist that support recognition of at least three species C sativa C indica and C ruderalis 68 69 70 71 For Schultes this was a reversal of his previous interpretation that Cannabis is monotypic with only a single species 72 According to Schultes and Anderson s descriptions C sativa is tall and laxly branched with relatively narrow leaflets C indica is shorter conical in shape and has relatively wide leaflets and C ruderalis is short branchless and grows wild in Central Asia This taxonomic interpretation was embraced by Cannabis aficionados who commonly distinguish narrow leafed sativa strains from wide leafed indica strains 73 McPartland s review finds the Schultes taxonomy inconsistent with prior work protologs and partly responsible for the popular usage 74 Continuing research Molecular analytical techniques developed in the late 20th century are being applied to questions of taxonomic classification This has resulted in many reclassifications based on evolutionary systematics Several studies of random amplified polymorphic DNA RAPD and other types of genetic markers have been conducted on drug and fiber strains of Cannabis primarily for plant breeding and forensic purposes 75 76 25 77 78 Dutch Cannabis researcher E P M de Meijer and coworkers described some of their RAPD studies as showing an extremely high degree of genetic polymorphism between and within populations suggesting a high degree of potential variation for selection even in heavily selected hemp cultivars 37 They also commented that these analyses confirm the continuity of the Cannabis gene pool throughout the studied accessions and provide further confirmation that the genus consists of a single species although theirs was not a systematic study per se An investigation of genetic morphological and chemotaxonomic variation among 157 Cannabis accessions of known geographic origin including fiber drug and feral populations showed cannabinoid variation in Cannabis germplasm The patterns of cannabinoid variation support recognition of C sativa and C indica as separate species but not C ruderalis C sativa contains fiber and seed landraces and feral populations derived from Europe Central Asia and Turkey Narrow leaflet and wide leaflet drug accessions southern and eastern Asian hemp accessions and feral Himalayan populations were assigned to C indica 53 In 2005 a genetic analysis of the same set of accessions led to a three species classification recognizing C sativa C indica and tentatively C ruderalis 56 Another paper in the series on chemotaxonomic variation in the terpenoid content of the essential oil of Cannabis revealed that several wide leaflet drug strains in the collection had relatively high levels of certain sesquiterpene alcohols including guaiol and isomers of eudesmol that set them apart from the other putative taxa 79 An 2020 analysis of single nucleotide polymorphisms reports five clusters of Cannabis roughly corresponding to hemps including folk Ruderalis folk Indica and folk Sativa 80 Despite advanced analytical techniques much of the cannabis used recreationally is inaccurately classified One laboratory at the University of British Columbia found that Jamaican Lamb s Bread claimed to be 100 sativa was in fact almost 100 indica the opposite strain 81 Legalization of cannabis in Canada as of 17 October 2018 update may help spur private sector research especially in terms of diversification of strains It should also improve classification accuracy for cannabis used recreationally Legalization coupled with Canadian government Health Canada oversight of production and labelling will likely result in more and more accurate testing to determine exact strains and content Furthermore the rise of craft cannabis growers in Canada should ensure quality experimentation research and diversification of strains among private sector producers 82 Popular usage Popular terms are discerned from scientific taxonomy by the lack of italics use of quotes and uppercasing The scientific debate regarding taxonomy has had little effect on the terminology in widespread use among cultivators and users of drug type Cannabis Cannabis aficionados recognize three distinct types based on such factors as morphology native range aroma and subjective psychoactive characteristics Sativa is the most widespread variety which is usually tall laxly branched and found in warm lowland regions Indica designates shorter bushier plants adapted to cooler climates and highland environments Ruderalis is the informal name for the short plants that grow wild in Europe and Central Asia 74 Mapping the morphological concepts to scientific names in the Small 1976 framework Sativa generally refers to C sativa subsp indica var indica Indica generally refers to C sativa subsp i kafiristanica also known as afghanica and Ruderalis being lower in THC is the one that can fall into C sativa subsp sativa The three names fit in Schultes s framework better if one overlooks its inconsistencies with prior work 74 Definitions of the three terms using factors other than morphology produces different often conflicting results Breeders seed companies and cultivators of drug type Cannabis often describe the ancestry or gross phenotypic characteristics of cultivars by categorizing them as pure indica mostly indica indica sativa mostly sativa or pure sativa These categories are highly arbitrary however one AK 47 hybrid strain has received both Best Sativa and Best Indica awards 74 Phylogeny Cannabis likely split from its closest relative Humulus hops during the mid Oligocene around 27 8 million years ago according to molecular clock estimates The centre of origin of Cannabis is likely in the northeastern Tibetan Plateau The pollen of Humulus and Cannabis are very similar and difficult to distinguish The oldest pollen thought to be from Cannabis is from Ningxia China on the boundary between the Tibetan Plateau and the Loess Plateau dating to the early Miocene around 19 6 million years ago Cannabis was widely distributed over Asia by the Late Pleistocene The oldest known Cannabis in South Asia dates to around 32 000 years ago 83 Etymology Main article Etymology of cannabis Further information List of names for cannabis and Marijuana word The word cannabis is from Greek kannabis kannabis see Latin cannabis 84 which was originally Scythian or Thracian 85 It is related to the Persian kanab the English canvas and possibly the English hemp Old English haenep 85 UsesCannabis is used for a wide variety of purposes History Main article History of cannabis According to genetic and archaeological evidence cannabis was first domesticated about 12 000 years ago in East Asia during the early Neolithic period 9 The use of cannabis as a mind altering drug has been documented by archaeological finds in prehistoric societies in Eurasia and Africa 86 The oldest written record of cannabis usage is the Greek historian Herodotus s reference to the central Eurasian Scythians taking cannabis steam baths 87 His c 440 BCE Histories records The Scythians as I said take some of this hemp seed presumably flowers and creeping under the felt coverings throw it upon the red hot stones immediately it smokes and gives out such a vapour as no Greek vapour bath can exceed the Scyths delighted shout for joy 88 Classical Greeks and Romans also used cannabis In China the psychoactive properties of cannabis are described in the Shennong Bencaojing 3rd century AD 89 Cannabis smoke was inhaled by Daoists who burned it in incense burners 89 In the Middle East use spread throughout the Islamic empire to North Africa In 1545 cannabis spread to the western hemisphere where Spaniards imported it to Chile for its use as fiber In North America cannabis in the form of hemp was grown for use in rope cloth and paper 90 91 92 93 Cannabinol CBN was the first compound to be isolated from cannabis extract in the late 1800s Its structure and chemical synthesis were achieved by 1940 followed by some of the first preclinical research studies to determine the effects of individual cannabis derived compounds in vivo 94 Globally in 2013 60 400 kilograms of cannabis were produced legally 95 Recreational use Main article Cannabis drug Comparison of physical harm and dependence regarding various drugs 96 A dried bud typical of what is sold for recreational use Cannabis is a popular recreational drug around the world only behind alcohol caffeine and tobacco In the U S alone it is believed that over 100 million Americans have tried cannabis with 25 million Americans having used it within the past year when 97 As a drug it usually comes in the form of dried infructescences buds or marijuana resin hashish or various extracts collectively known as hash oil 10 During the 20th century it became illegal in most of the world to cultivate or possess Cannabis for sale and even sometimes for personal use The psychoactive effects of cannabis are known to have a triphasic nature Primary psychoactive effects include a state of relaxation and to a lesser degree euphoria from its main psychoactive compound THC Secondary psychoactive effects such as a facility for philosophical thinking introspection and metacognition have been reported among cases of anxiety and paranoia 98 Finally the tertiary psychoactive effects of the drug cannabis can include an increase in heart rate and hunger believed to be caused by 11 OH THC a psychoactive metabolite of THC produced in the liver Normal cognition is restored after approximately three hours for larger doses via a smoking pipe bong or vaporizer 98 However if a large amount is taken orally the effects may last much longer After 24 hours to a few days minuscule psychoactive effects may be felt depending on dosage frequency and tolerance to the drug Various forms of the drug cannabis exist including extracts such as hashish and hash oil 10 which because of appearance are more susceptible to adulterants when left unregulated Cannabidiol CBD which has no intoxicating effects by itself 51 although sometimes showing a small stimulant effect similar to caffeine 99 is thought to attenuate i e reduce 100 the anxiety inducing effects of high doses of THC particularly if administered orally prior to THC exposure 101 According to Delphic analysis by British researchers in 2007 cannabis has a lower risk factor for dependence compared to both nicotine and alcohol 102 However everyday use of cannabis may be correlated with psychological withdrawal symptoms such as irritability or insomnia 98 and susceptibility to a panic attack may increase as levels of THC metabolites rise 103 104 Cannabis withdrawal symptoms are typically mild and are not life threatening 105 Risk of adverse outcomes from cannabis use may be reduced by implementation of evidence based education and intervention tools communicated to the public with practical regulation measures 106 In 2014 there were an estimated 182 5 million cannabis users worldwide 3 8 of the global population aged 15 64 107 This percentage did not change significantly between 1998 and 2014 107 Medical use Main article Medical cannabis Medical cannabis or medical marijuana refers to the use of cannabis and its constituent cannabinoids in an effort to treat disease or improve symptoms Cannabis is used to reduce nausea and vomiting during chemotherapy to improve appetite in people with HIV AIDS and to treat chronic pain and muscle spasms 108 109 Cannabinoids are under preliminary research for their potential to affect stroke 110 Evidence is lacking for depression anxiety attention deficit hyperactivity disorder Tourette syndrome post traumatic stress disorder and psychosis 111 Two extracts of cannabis dronabinol and nabilone are approved by the FDA as medications in pill form for treating the side effects of chemotherapy and AIDS 112 Short term use increases both minor and major adverse effects 109 Common side effects include dizziness feeling tired vomiting and hallucinations 109 Long term effects of cannabis are not clear 113 Concerns including memory and cognition problems risk of addiction schizophrenia in young people and the risk of children taking it by accident 108 Industrial use hemp Main article Cannabis industrial uses Cannabis sativa stem longitudinal section The term hemp is used to name the durable soft fiber from the Cannabis plant stem stalk Cannabis sativa cultivars are used for fibers due to their long stems Sativa varieties may grow more than six metres tall However hemp can refer to any industrial or foodstuff product that is not intended for use as a drug Many countries regulate limits for psychoactive compound THC concentrations in products labeled as hemp Cannabis for industrial uses is valuable in tens of thousands of commercial products especially as fibre 114 ranging from paper cordage construction material and textiles in general to clothing Hemp is stronger and longer lasting than cotton It also is a useful source of foodstuffs hemp milk hemp seed hemp oil and biofuels Hemp has been used by many civilizations from China to Europe and later North America during the last 12 000 years 114 115 In modern times novel applications and improvements have been explored with modest commercial success 116 117 In the US industrial hemp is classified by the federal government as cannabis containing no more than 0 3 THC by dry weight This classification was established in the 2018 Farm Bill and was refined to include hemp sourced extracts cannabinoids and derivatives in the definition of hemp 118 Ancient and religious uses Main articles Cannabis and religion and History of medical cannabis Cannabis Museum in Amsterdam Cannabis leaf pictured in the coat of arms of Kanepi Parish The Cannabis plant has a history of medicinal use dating back thousands of years across many cultures 119 The Yanghai Tombs a vast ancient cemetery 54 000 m2 situated in the Turfan district of the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region in northwest China have revealed the 2700 year old grave of a shaman He is thought to have belonged to the Jushi culture recorded in the area centuries later in the Hanshu Chap 96B 120 Near the head and foot of the shaman was a large leather basket and wooden bowl filled with 789g of cannabis superbly preserved by climatic and burial conditions An international team demonstrated that this material contained THC The cannabis was presumably employed by this culture as a medicinal or psychoactive agent or an aid to divination This is the oldest documentation of cannabis as a pharmacologically active agent 121 The earliest evidence of cannabis smoking has been found in the 2 500 year old tombs of Jirzankal Cemetery in the Pamir Mountains in Western China where cannabis residue were found in burners with charred pebbles possibly used during funeral rituals 122 123 Settlements which date from c 2200 1700 BCE in the Bactria and Margiana contained elaborate ritual structures with rooms containing everything needed for making drinks containing extracts from poppy opium hemp cannabis and ephedra which contains ephedrine 124 262 Although there is no evidence of ephedra being used by steppe tribes they engaged in cultic use of hemp Cultic use ranged from Romania to the Yenisei River and had begun by 3rd millennium BC Smoking hemp has been found at Pazyryk 124 306 Cannabis is first referred to in Hindu Vedas between 2000 and 1400 BCE in the Atharvaveda By the 10th century CE it has been suggested that it was referred to by some in India as food of the gods 125 Cannabis use eventually became a ritual part of the Hindu festival of Holi One of the earliest to use this plant in medical purposes was Korakkar one of the 18 Siddhas 126 127 self published source The plant is called Korakkar Mooli in the Tamil language meaning Korakkar s herb 128 129 In Buddhism cannabis is generally regarded as an intoxicant and may be a hindrance to development of meditation and clear awareness In ancient Germanic culture Cannabis was associated with the Norse love goddess Freya 130 131 An anointing oil mentioned in Exodus is by some translators said to contain Cannabis 132 Sufis have used Cannabis in a spiritual context since the 13th century CE 133 In modern times the Rastafari movement has embraced Cannabis as a sacrament 134 Elders of the Ethiopian Zion Coptic Church a religious movement founded in the U S in 1975 with no ties to either Ethiopia or the Coptic Church consider Cannabis to be the Eucharist claiming it as an oral tradition from Ethiopia dating back to the time of Christ 135 Like the Rastafari some modern Gnostic Christian sects have asserted that Cannabis is the Tree of Life 136 137 Other organized religions founded in the 20th century that treat Cannabis as a sacrament are the THC Ministry 138 Cantheism 139 the Cannabis Assembly 140 and the Church of Cognizance Cannabis is frequently used among Sufis 141 the mystical interpretation of Islam that exerts strong influence over local Muslim practices in Bangladesh India Indonesia Turkey and Pakistan Cannabis preparations are frequently used at Sufi festivals in those countries 141 Pakistan s Shrine of Lal Shahbaz Qalandar in Sindh province is particularly renowned for the widespread use of cannabis at the shrine s celebrations especially its annual Urs festival and Thursday evening dhamaal sessions or meditative dancing sessions 142 143 See also Cannabis portalAll pages with titles beginning with Cannabis All pages with titles
