Abstract
Cannabis sativa L., a significant herbaceous species in Central Asia, has long been valued for its use in traditional medicine and as a source of textile fiber. This fast-growing plant has recently drawn increased attention because of its many applications. It is an abundant source of wood and cellulosic fibers and a true treasure of phytochemicals. This plant greatly interests the construction and pharmaceutical sectors because its metabolites have potent biological effects on human health. Its inner and outer stem tissues may be used to make concrete-like materials and bioplastics. This study aims to summarize the molecular and scientific knowledge of Cannabis sativa, including its pharmacognostic properties, pharmacological potential, phytochemical properties, and prospective future research fields.
Keywords: Cannabis sativa, pharmaceuticals, phytochemical, pharmacognostic, goldmine, bioplastics.
