cannabis, (genus #Cannabis), genus of 1–3 species of aromatic flowering #plants cultivated for #fiber, #oilseed, #medicinal preparations, and #psychoactive products. Native to Central Asia, cannabis is now grown #worldwide in a range of forms adapted for different uses. The taxonomy of the group is contentious, with many botanists holding that the genus comprises a single species, Cannabis sativa. https://www.britannica.com/plant/cannabis-plant

#Oilseed rape (#OSR, Canola oil) is an important oil crop, but cultivation is #pesticide
