Caption:
This image depicted a view of a marijuana plant, Cannabis sativa, exhibiting its characteristic palmately compound, serrated leaflets. Due to its content of the psychoactive chemical component, tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), marijuana is often ingested as a recreational drug. However, over time, numerous medicinal uses are being discovered as well. Cannabidiol, or CBD, is a Cannabis extract which has been studied for some of these medicinal uses, and contains no THC, therefore, does not produce that same psychoactive effects as THC in the user.
