Knowra Cannabis Cannabis Cannabis is a genus of flowering plants whose species and varieties produce compounds called cannabinoids. Some cannabis products alter perception, mood, and behavior.
Cannabinoids : Cannabinoids are chemical compounds that interact with cannabinoid receptors or related biological targets. This chemical family includes the compounds responsible for many effects of cannabis.
Medical cannabis : Medical cannabis is cannabis or cannabis-derived products used under medical supervision to address health conditions or symptoms. It describes cannabis use directed toward therapeutic goals rather than general consumption.
Cannabis domestication : Cannabis domestication is the cultivation and selective breeding of cannabis by human societies over thousands of years. Human selection produced plants suited to fiber, seed, medicine, and intoxicating use.
Cannabis prohibition : Cannabis prohibition is the legal restriction or ban on cultivating, possessing, selling, or using cannabis. Prohibition has shaped cannabis access, enforcement, and public debates across many countries.
Cannabis chemovar : A cannabis chemovar is a cannabis variety classified by its chemical composition, especially its cannabinoid and terpene profile. Chemical profiles often describe cannabis products more precisely than familiar strain names.
Tetrahydrocannabinol : Tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, is the principal intoxicating cannabinoid in cannabis. THC produces much of cannabis’s characteristic intoxication by activating cannabinoid receptors.
Cannabis use disorder : Cannabis use disorder is a pattern of cannabis use that causes clinically significant impairment or distress. Frequent use can develop into a disorder marked by impaired control and continued use despite harm.
Cannabis sativa : Cannabis sativa is a species name used in botanical and horticultural classification of cannabis plants. The species name anchors many accounts of cannabis taxonomy and cultivation.
Cannabis legalization : Cannabis legalization is the removal of legal bans on specified cannabis activities, often with a regulated market. Legalization changes how cannabis is produced, sold, and governed.
Cannabis strain : A cannabis strain is a named cultivated variety or lineage, though naming and genetic consistency vary across the market. Strain names are common labels, but they may not reliably predict a product’s chemistry or effects.
