(Chem. & Med.)
A chemical substance (C21H20O2) which is produced by the
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
THC. It causes the euphoric effect for which the
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
possession or distribution is illegal in almost all states of
the United States. --MI11

Cannabis Indica. See Cannabis Indica, below.
[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.
