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.

However, people in Asia have considered cannabis to be dangerous, and have even tried to remove it from natural areas. They believe this because of its effects on human health.

Cannabis requires certain conditions for its proliferation, such as sunlight and constant watering. Easy to produce, most of the plant is now grown in controlled spaces.
