What Is Cannabis, Weed, Dope or Pot?
Cannabis, or marijuana, comes from a plant. The dried buds of the female plant contain the highest concentration of psychoactive compounds. These buds are usually what is sold and consumed as marijuana. Cannabis usually costs about $10 to $20 a gram and is illegal. Cannabis is usually smoked, although it can be eaten. Joints are the most common method of smoking, but a wide range of pipes, bongs, hookahs, and other devices are also used. Cannabis can be prepared in butter or cooked directly into foods for ingestion. Often people will cook with the leaves of the plant rather than the buds.
