"Marijuana goes by a number of different names, in the United States; it may be called grass, pot, tea, reefer, weed, and Mary Jane. Smoked either in the form of a rolled cigarette or through a pipe. It is one of the oldest drugs, and has been used medicinally or as an intoxicant. The main psychoactive substance in marijuana is THC, which is short for tetrahydrocannabinol. Hashish, which is found on the top of the cannabis plant, has similar effects to marijuana.
