hemp plant (Cannabis sativa), and is the physiologically
active agent of dried preparations of that plant, called
variously marijuana, hashish, ganja, hemp, etc.; also called

preparations are smoked or chewed. It is used in medicine in
a purified form as an antiemetic (an antinausea agent),
especially in conjunction with chemotherapy of cancer. It
occurs primarily as the [Delta]1-3,4-trans isomer, also
called {[Delta]9-THC}, with small amounts of the
[Delta]6-3,4-trans isomer detectable at about 1%. It is a
controlled substance, classified as a hallucinogen, and its

[PJC]

{Cannabis Indica}, the Indian hemp, now considered a variety
of the common hemp ({Cannabis sativa}), originating in
Asia but now grown widely around the world. It can be
formed into a tough fiber that is used to make rope and
tough fabric. The dried leaves and female flowers are
smoked or chewed by people to produce a euphoric or
hallucinogenic effect, caused mainly by the substance
{tetrahydrocannabinol} (THC) contained in it. The
THC-containing products of Cannabis are classified as a
controlled substance, and posession and sale are illegal
in most states of the United States. Once classified as a
narcotic, the plant is now more commonly referred to in
the category of euphoric or hallucinogenic agents.
