Question

Options

• Papaver somniferum

• Nicotiana tabacum

• Parthenium hysterophorus

Answer 1

The source of hashish is cannabis sativa.

Explanation:

Hashish, also known as charas, is a resinous substance obtained from the leaves and young female inflorescences of the cannabis plant, cannabis sativa. It is the undiluted sticky exudate collected from the plant and contains the psychoactive ingredient δ-9-tetrahydro-cannabinol (THC), which affects mood, memory, and coordination. Other drugs, such as marijuana, are also derived from the same plant but differ in their parts used and resin content.
