Cannabis sativa L. is a psychoactive plant that contains more than 500 chemical components. Even though the consumption (in the form of marijuana, hashish, or hashish oil) for recreational purposes, is the most popular way of using the plant, the knowledge of its components has also led to classify Cannabis sativa L. is a plant with medicinal or therapeutical use. Several comprehensive reviews have already been published focused on the chemical composition of Cannabis sativa. In this chapter, we will summarize relevant information about those components, which may help to understand its biological actions that will be described in the following chapters.
大麻是一种致幻植物，含有 500 多种化学成分。尽管大麻植物通常以大麻、哈希什或大麻油的形式被用于娱乐目的，但人们对其成分的认识也使其被归为具有药用或治疗用途的植物。已经有几篇综合综述发表，重点介绍了大麻的化学组成。在本章中，我们将总结有关这些成分的相关信息，这有助于理解其在以下章节中描述的生物学作用。
