Indications
The hemp plant, or cannabis (Cannabis sativa), continues
to be the most frequently abused illicit substance in
America. The dried leaves and flowering tops of the
plant are referred to as marijuana, and it is typically
smoked in pipes or rolled as cigarettes. It also may be
consumed in baked goods. Hashish is a solid black
resinous material obtained from the leaves of the plant
and is usually smoked in a pipe.
