means A flowering plant (and its dried leaves/resin) containing THC and other compounds, used recreationally and medicinally for its psychoactive and relaxing effects.

from From Latin cannabis, from Greek kánnabis — a word the Greeks almost certainly borrowed from an older Scythian or Central Asian source, since the plant and the word both seem to have traveled west together. It's a distant cousin, possibly, of the English word 'hemp,' which comes down a separate Germanic path from a related ancient root. Herodotus wrote about Scythians using it in steam-tent rituals, which may be the oldest written brush with the word's world.
