Cannabis sata
Cannabis sativa
Cannabis sativa, commonly known as marijuana or hemp, is a plant with a long history of traditional use in various cultures. While specific traditional medicinal uses are not well-documented, its industrial and psychoactive applications have been recognized across numerous cultures for centuries. Scientific evidence suggests that Cannabis sativa has potential dual-use applications, such as producing hydrogen while maintaining its medicinal and industrial value. Additionally, studies indicate that the plant's glandular trichome stalks exhibit distinct gene expression profiles compared to the heads, suggesting roles in metabolite transport and signaling. Research also highlights the plasticity of Cannabis sativa sex expression, influenced by genetic, hormonal, developmental, and environmental factors, which can impact commercial production. No major safety concerns or known drug interactions have been recorded for this plant.

What the science says
- This study proposes a dual-use bio-refinery paradigm for Cannabis sativa that could simultaneously produce hydrogen and maintain its medicinal and industrial value.
- This study characterized aphid-parasitoid interactions in Cannabis crops, identifying L. testaceipes as a key parasitoid supporting natural aphid regulation.
- The transcriptomic analysis revealed that Cannabis sativa glandular trichome stalks have distinct gene expression profiles compared to the head, suggesting they play a role in metabolite transport and signaling.
- Cannabis sativa's sex expression is highly plastic, influenced by genetic, hormonal, developmental, and environmental factors, impacting commercial production.
- The study developed an automated method for pesticide analysis in Cannabis sativa L. flowering tops with high accuracy and low limits of quantification.
- The systematic review found that cannabidiol (CBD) shows consistent antiproliferative and proapoptotic effects in various canine cancer types, but further clinical studies are needed.
- The study found that micelle-enabled enzymatic catalysis achieved selective dibromination of cannabinoids with up to 72% yield and tunable bromination levels.
- The study identified 57 MADS-box genes in Cannabis sativa L., including CsaSOC1, which showed potential as a flowering regulator.
- The study engineered variants of cannabichromenic acid synthase that showed increased catalytic activity towards producing cannabichromene.
