Cannabis is a drug that comes from Indian hemp plants such as sativa and indica. The main active chemical it contains is THC (delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol).

Cannabis-based products come from the dried flowering tops, leaves, stems, and seeds of the sativa (hemp) plant.

The legal status of medical and recreational cannabis varies among states. People who are considering buying or using cannabis should first check whether it is legal in their state.
