Introduction to Drugs:
A drug is a substance which may have medicinal, intoxicating, performance enhancing or other effects when taken or put into a human body or the body of another animal and is not considered a food or exclusively a food.
What is considered a drug rather than a food varies between cultures, and distinctions between drugs and foods and between kinds of drug are enshrined in laws which vary between jurisdictions and aim to restrict or prevent drug use. Even within a jurisdiction, however, the status of a substance may be uncertain or contested with respect to both whether it is a drug and how it should be classified if at all. There is no single, precise definition, as there are different meanings in drug control law, government regulations, medicine, and colloquial usage. Recreational drugs are chemical substances that affect the central nervous system, such as opioids or hallucinogens. They may be used for perceived beneficial effects on perception, consciousness, personality, and behavior. Some drugs can cause addiction and/or habituation.

Marijuana often called pot, grass, reefer, weed or herb is a greenish gray mixture of the dried, shredded leaves, stems, seeds, and flowers of Cannabis sativa the hemp plant.

Cannabis resin or "hash“is produced from the mature flower heads. Cannabis oil is an extract from the plate by drying the plant then extracting it with a variety of organic solvents. The active ingredient of cannabis of all types is tetrahydrocanabinol (THC).The growth of Cannabis plants is illegal in most of the world, although the possession of the seeds is tolerated in many countries.
Where, does most of the production/consumption take place?
Marijuana is grown and trafficked all over the world, while
