It grows easily throughout the tropics, subtropics, and temperate regions.  Once established, the plant can reseed and spread.  It comes from the dried flowering tops, leaves, and stems of the plant.
The most popular way to use cannabis is by smoking/inhaling it in pipes or rolling it in cigarette papers. Water pipes or bongs are also used since it cools the smoke and not as much marijuana is lost. The oil can also be heated by itself, and one can inhale the vapors. Another way is to eat it, which usually involves baking it into foods. The effect takes longer, but it can also last longer.]]> 2017-03-26 14:11:03 UTC https://padlet.com/mceachern_emily80/oihyhl5ax4gz/wish/162623917 mceachern_emily80 https://padlet.com/mceachern_emily80/oihyhl5ax4gz/wish/162623932 Marijuana use has generated continued controversy regarding its addictive potential, health consequences, potential for medical use, and legal status.  It is ranked as a Schedule 1 drug, and it's a depressant.]]> 2017-03-26 14:11:14 UTC https://padlet.com/mceachern_emily80/oihyhl5ax4gz/wish/162623932 mceachern_emily80 https://padlet.com/mceachern_emily80/oihyhl5ax4gz/wish/162623938 The scientific name for Marijuana is Cannabis.
