In the plant kingdom, there are angiosperms (kind of like ferns) that have flowers. In the Cannabaceae family, the plant genus Cannabis is also known as hemp, although this term is often used to refer only to varieties of Cannabis cultivated for non-drug use. Cannabis has long been used for hemp fiber, for hemp oils, for medicinal purposes, and as a recreational drug. Certain hemp products are made from cannabis plants selected to produce an abundance of fiber; whereas, other plants are selected for their abundance of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the psychoactive component. Some strains have been selectively bred to produce a concentrated form of THC (a cannabinoid). Various compounds, including hashish and hash oil, can be extracted from the plant.
