Question
I got a cannabis plant from my grandfather as a joke. I think it's a really beautiful plant and my friend asked me how long I had it for. I told her I'd had it for a month but it was probably around two months old. She told me that it was male. Obviously I went and did research on it to find out more, and I found out that it's a different plant to most common species. I'm not a stoner so it doesn't really matter whether or not I get buds. I would however like to know the species of the plant
Answer
Dear FlamingxLoopie, good morning. The plant certainly looks like Cannabis sativa (hemp, among many other common names). I find them to be very interesting plants, partly, perhaps, because they have been demonized for so long that most of us haven't had the opportunity to view/interact with them. There is a treasure trove of medicine found within these plants (and not just the carpellate flower buds, but also the vegetative leaves). Enjoy.
