Chemical Dependency Counselor Practice Exam

Question: 1 / 400

Which plant is known for being a source of cannabis?

Opium poppy

Nutmeg

Tobacco

The source of cannabis is the cannabis plant itself. It is important to understand that cannabis refers to the genus of flowering plants that includes species such as Cannabis sativa, Cannabis indica, and Cannabis ruderalis, which are known for their psychoactive properties due to compounds called cannabinoids, the most notable being THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) and CBD (cannabidiol). This plant has been used for centuries for both medicinal and recreational purposes.

Understanding this, the other options do not provide a source of cannabis. The opium poppy is associated with the production of opiates like morphine and codeine, nutmeg is a spice, and tobacco is derived from the leaves of the Nicotiana plant, primarily used for its stimulating effects due to nicotine. Therefore, the cannabis plant is the only correct choice as the source of cannabis.
