What is cannabis?

Cannabis, the most commonly used illicit drug in Canada today, comes from the hemp plant Cannabis Sativa and can be brown, grey or green in colour. It is also known as weed, pot, bud, kush, grass, herb, and Mary Jane. Two main chemicals of cannabis are delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD). THC gives the plant its mind-altering effects and it can last in your system that produces positive drug test results for 1 week to 3 months. CBD does not produce psychoactive effects, but potentially offers therapeutic benefits. Whether cannabis is inhaled or ingested, it eventually enters the blood stream, brain and other organs.
