Cannabis sativa L. (hemp) is a dioecious annual flowering plant. Marihuana is the Spanish name for the dried leaves and female flowering tops of the hemp plant. Hashish is the resin which originates from these female flowering tops. The hemp s natural homeland is most likely in the regions north of Afghanistan and the Altai mountains of southern Siberia (Russia). It is not clear when and where cultivation of hemp Cannabis sativa L.) started. It seems most likely that the cultivation of hemp may have originated in northeastern Asia (north and north-east China and southeastern Siberia). 

Hexanoate is also likely to feature as a starter unit in the formation of the cannabinoids, a group of terpenophenolics found in Indian hemp (Cannabis sativa Cannabaceae). This plant, and preparations from it, known under a variety of names including hashish, marihuana, pot, bhang, charas, and dagga, have been used for centuries for the pleasurable sensations and mild euphoria experienced after its consumption, usually by smoking. 

Although the Scythians had contacts with the people of Babylonia, who lived to the west of the Phrygians, no hemp fiber or definite mention of hemp (Cannabis sativa) to the west of Turkey can be found until the time of the Greeks. There are some vague references, however, which may or may not be cannabis. In a letter written around 680 B.C. by an unknown woman to the mother of the Assyrian king Esarhaddon, for example, mention is made of a substance called qu-nu-bu which could be cannabis. 

However, almost as soon as Linnaeus dubbed hemp Cannabis sativa, other botanists began to argue that there were two distinct types of hemp plant and therefore it was a mistake to lump all hemp-like plants under one name. The most notable dissenter was the French biologist Jean Lamarck. 

Plant extracts have been used for their effects on the brain and the CNS since time immemorial as evidenced by the use of opium for at least 4000 years,by the long-standing practice of South American Indians to chew coca leaves,and by the widespread use of Indian hemp Cannabis sativa) This section of the review will not discuss these older and well-established agents and will instead focus on four newer classes of compounds with genuine potential for beneficial effects on such important diseases as AD. 

Among the constituents of hemp Cannabis sativa), the tricyclic A -rra -tetrahydrocannabinol 13 possesses the strongest hallucinogenic activity (hashish, marijuana). Cannabinol 14, which possesses an aromatic C-ring, is psychomimetically inactive.

About 70 among more than 400 constituents of the Indian hemp Cannabis sativa var. indica (Moraceae, Cannabaceae) belong to the cannabinoids. These are benzo-pyrans derived biogenetically from the monoterpene /7-menth-l-ene and a phenol. More precisely, the carbon atoms C-3 and C-8 of /7-menth-l-ene (section 2.3.3, bold partial structure in the formula) close a dihydrobenzopyran ring with 5-n-pentylresorcinol (olivetol) in (-)-A -tetrahydrocannabinol. 

Among these preparations are a few, which have found their way into Western pharmacology. These include extracts from the camphor tree (Cinnamomum camphora), from hemp (Cannabis sativa), from various Rauwolfia species (e.g. reserpine), from ginseng (Panax quiti-quefolium and Panax schinseng) and from Ma-huang (Ephedra sinica).

The glycerol content was fixed at 36 wt% based on the dry starch matrix. Then this mixture was poured into a flask equipped with a stirrer and heated at 100 °C for 30 min to gelatinize starch. The same procedure is used for the fabrication of the Hemp Cannabis sativa) cellulose nanocrystals and potato starch nanocomposite films S/HC-NC (Cao et al. 2008b).
