Hemp or Cannabis (Cannabis Indica, Cannabis sativa) is a narcotic plant product grown in selected parts of India. Hemp refers to non-drug use of the plant, while cannabis is related to the intoxicating drug marijuana.

The cultivation of the plant is mostly on the sidelines of law. Authorities usually seize the areas of cannabis production, which is usually in the interiors of thick forests where jeeps and other vehicles find it hard to reach.

Apart from the negative light on this plant, it is also a good fiber yielding plant. Hemp is used clothing, paint manufacturing, and cooking.

Though cannabis can be used in different medicines, the large scale use of cannabis as a drug puts medical practitioners in two sides. However different compounds of the plant can be used in pain relief and in treating nausea.
