Medicinal notes
Cannabis sativa has herbal applications as an analgesic, as a hypotensive, as an antispasmodic and as an antiasthmatic. See the medicinal properties section for even more traditional herbal uses. Marijuana (sometimes called hemp) is not permitted in some countries. Cannabis sativa is called huo ma ren in Chinese. The seeds and the flowers are used in herbal preparations. This is a light producer of pollen but should cause problems to only the most sensitive hay fever sufferers. July to September is the usual season for causing hay-fever problems.
