In this article, we will tell you in more detail and expand on what it is and why this herb is used.

Hemp is one of the most common drugs in the world. This herb has become for many a "means of stress." Marijuana itself - consists of dried flowers, seeds and leaves of the plant of Indian hemp. In street slang it has different names: a plan, anasha, straw, grass, cant, smoke, ganja. This grass, which has become for many something ordinary and necessary for life, in the pockets of young people can always find a little bit of such a substance. In particular, it is common in America, Mexico, Brazil, Jamaica, Spain.

Regardless of the name, whether it's hemp, marijuana or ganja, it's still drugs that have hallucinogenic properties. They have an element that can distort the perception of the outside world.
