Industrial hemp plants descended from wild cannabis. These plants provide fiber and negligible amounts of psychoactive tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). The main psychoactive part of cannabis is THC, one of the 483 known compounds in the plant, including at least 65 other cannabinoids.

Botanists have pointed out that cannabis originates in Central Asia, although it may also have had its origins in the south of that continent. It is a region with ideal characteristics for the plant to grow easily.
