What is marijuana?

Marijuana is a psychoactive drug derived from the Cannabis plant. It contains THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), which is the chemical responsible for the mind-altering effects. Although it’s widely used for both recreational and medical purposes, regular use—especially in high-THC strains—can lead to dependency, cognitive impairment, and emotional instability.

The increased potency of today’s marijuana, along with the rise in high-concentration THC products like wax, dabs, and edibles, has made addiction more common than many realize.
