Article analysis:
The article "Cannabis | Definition, Species, & Marijuana | Britannica" provides a brief overview of the genus Cannabis and its various species. The article mentions that by some classifications, the genus comprises only one species, hemp (Cannabis sativa), while others consider it to include two or three species. However, the article does not provide any evidence or sources to support these claims.
The article also mentions that the female plants of a short branchier variety are prized as the more abundant source of THC, the active ingredient in marijuana. However, it does not mention any potential risks associated with marijuana use or its psychoactive effects.
Furthermore, the article seems to be biased towards promoting cannabis use for medicinal and recreational purposes. It includes a link to another article on medical cannabis and describes cannabis as a "medicinal, recreational, and fibre plant." This promotional content may be misleading to readers who are not aware of the potential risks associated with cannabis use.
Overall, while the article provides some basic information about Cannabis and its various species, it lacks depth and critical analysis. It also appears to have biases towards promoting cannabis use without adequately addressing potential risks or presenting both sides equally.
