[[Image:Bscap004.jpg|thumb|right|A ''Cannabis sativa'' plant]]
The '' '''[[Cannabis]]''' '' plant is bad can be dried or otherwise processed to yield products containing large concentrations of compounds that have [[Herbalism|medicinal]] and [[psychoactive]] effects when ingested, usually by smoking or eating. '''Cannabis''' has been used for medical and psychoactive effects for thousands of years. Throughout the [[20th century]] there was a massive upswing in the use of cannabis as a psychoactive substance, mostly for recreational purposes but to some extent for religious purposes. Due to negative media attention regarding its psychoactive effects, as well as heavy lobbying from pharmaceutical companies, the possession, use, or sale of psychoactive cannabis products became [[illegal]] in most parts of the world during the early twentieth century, and remains that way today. For the [[physiology]] and [[science]] of the plant see ''[[Cannabis]]''.
