Marjuana is a type of cannabis that has been grown for thousands of years. Its history dates back to the Mayans who used it for medicinal purposes to treat conditions such as glaucoma, arthritis, gout, rheumatism, and even asthma.

 Today, Marjuana is still used around the world for its therapeutic properties and can be found in various forms including tea, butter, oil, and brownies.


Marjuana is a genus of flowering plants native to Central America. There are two species of marjuana that have been cultivated for their psychoactive properties. These include Cannabis sativa L., commonly referred to as marijuana, and Cannabis indica Lam. (syn. C. ruderalis).

 The botanical name of marijauna comes from the Greek word kannabis meaning hemp. Hemp was used for making rope, clothing, paper, food, medicine, and other products. In ancient times, marihuana was used as a recreational drug. Today, marihuana is still widely used recreationally, but many people use it medicinally.

 Cannabis sativa is the most common variety grown today. This type of marihuana contains high levels of THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), the chemical responsible for producing a euphoric feeling. When smoked, this form of marihuana produces a relaxed, stoned state of mind.

 Cannabis indica is less popular than Cannabis sativa. It has a higher concentration of CBD (cannabidiol) than THC. CBD is non-psychoactive and does not produce a “high” effect. However, it can still provide medicinal benefits.
