From Cannabis Sativa

General cannabis sativa pages Cannabis sativa/marijuana is a green, brown, or gray mixture of dried, shredded leaves, stems, seeds, and flowers of the Cannabis sativa plant. You may hear marijuana called by street names such as pot, herb, weed, grass, boom, Mary Jane, gangster, or chronic. There are more than 200 slang terms for marijuana.

Sinsemilla (sin-seh-me-yah; a Spanish word), hashish ("hash" for short), and hash oil are stronger forms of marijuana.

All forms of marijuana contain THC (delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol), the main active chemical in marijuana. They also contain more than 400 other chemicals. Marijuana's effects on the user depend on the strength or potency of the THC it contains. The potency of marijuana has increased since the 1970s but has been about the same since the mid-1980s. Medical marijuana has done a great deal of good in bringing the specific strains that work best as medicine to the forefront.
