In the world of plants, there is a striking herb – *It is also widely known as hemp. This annual plant, with its strong vitality and hardy characteristics, is native to China and India, two ancient civilizations, and is closely linked to human history. However, although ** and hemp are essentially the same plant, they are very different in terms of application, legal status and social cognition.

First, let's look at hemp from a botanical point of view. **Scientific name: Cannabis Sativa L, belonging to the genus **family**, is a cash crop with a long history. Its stem is hollow and has fibrous properties, so in ancient times, people often used the stem to make daily necessities such as lines and hemp rope. In China, the history of cultivation can be traced back thousands of years, it is not only an important textile raw material, but also plays an important role in medicine, papermaking and other fields.

However, unlike those used for industrial purposes, hemp presents very different properties in some ways. Hemp, as a subspecies or variety, can be as tall as 3 meters in size, much more than the height of the general **. This huge difference in body size may be one of the reasons why people mistakenly think of hemp and ** as two different plants. But in reality, their kinship is indisputable.

However, the reason why hemp is attracting attention is not only because of its body characteristics. More critically, there are two distinct types of hemp: one is the drug hemp, which contains a lot of toxic ingredients, and the other is the ordinary hemp, which does not have the effect of drugs. The drug hemp contains toxic ingredients such as tetrahydro**phenol, which have a strong stimulating effect on the human nervous system. Long-term exposure to large amounts of radiation can cause severe symptoms such as headaches, nausea, vomiting, and difficulty breathing, and may even be life-threatening. What's more, the toxins in the drug hemp may also cause psychiatric symptoms such as hallucinations and delusions, posing a great threat to personal health and social stability.

It is precisely because of the serious harm of the drug hemp that countries have adopted strict control measures against it. In China, the illegal cultivation of opium poppy, ** and other narcotic plants is expressly prohibited, and violators will be severely punished by law. The formulation and implementation of this law and regulation aims to protect citizens from drugs and maintain social harmony and stability.

However, this does not mean that all hemp should be banned. Although ordinary hemp belongs to the same family as the drug hemp, it does not contain toxic components that are harmful to the human body. It still has certain application value in textile, papermaking and other industrial fields. Therefore, under the premise of legal compliance, the cultivation of ordinary hemp is allowed.

Of course, whether it is ** or hemp, their cultivation needs to take into account the influence of soil and climatic conditions. These two plants have certain requirements for the growing environment, and if planted in unsuitable soil or climatic conditions, it can lead to poor growth, low yields or even non-survival. Therefore, when choosing a planting site, it is important to fully consider the local natural environment factors to ensure that the plant can grow healthily.

In addition to industrial use, ** and hemp also have certain research value in the medical field. The use of ** as a medicinal herb has long been documented in traditional medicine, and modern scientific research has also confirmed that some of the ingredients in ** have medicinal potential. However, due to the particularity of the legal status of hemp and the complexity of social cognition, their application in the medical field still faces many challenges and limitations.

To sum up, ** and hemp, as plants of the same origin and different paths, play a completely different role in human society. They have certain application value in industry, medicine and other fields, but they also face challenges in many aspects such as law and social cognition. In the future, with the progress of science and technology and the change of social cognition, we may be able to understand the characteristics and values of these two plants more comprehensively, and open up new paths for their application.
