Herb (Cannabis)
“Herb” is a commonly used slang term for cannabis. Cannabis, also known as marijuana or weed, is a psychoactive drug derived from the Cannabis plant. It is typically consumed by smoking, vaporizing, or ingesting it. Cannabis contains compounds called cannabinoids, such as THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), which produces psychoactive effects and is responsible for the “high” associated with cannabis use. It is important to note that cannabis use has legal restrictions in many countries and can have both short-term and long-term effects on health and cognition.
