Is marijuana really just a plant?

Just like gold is just a metal...

Just a plant? Well, that's one way to look at it. After all, marijuana is just a type of vegetation - albeit one with a long and storied history.

But while it may be "just a plant," marijuana has had a profound impact on both individuals and society as a whole. For many people, marijuana is more than just a plant - it's a medicine, a source of relaxation, or even a spiritual sacrament. And while the legal status of marijuana remains complex and ever-changing, there's no doubt that this humble plant has left its mark on the world.

So next time someone asks if marijuana is "just a plant," you can be sure to let them know that it's much more than that.
