Cannabis is the dried flowers of the female Cannabis sativa L plant (also known as hemp). Other names for cannabis are marijuana or weed.

Cannabis contains a number of active elements, including dronabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD). Dronabinol is usually the main ingredient, but other substances such as CBD can also have an active effect. The composition determines the effects, and side effects, of the cannabis.

Cannabis distributed by pharmacies is of pharmaceutical quality and complies with the strictest requirements. This cannabis is intended for medicinal use only.Types of medicinal cannabis
