What Plants Are Close Relatives of Marijuana?

    Hemp

    • Despite common misconception, hemp and marijuana come from two different varieties of Cannabis sativa. Though the industrial hemp plant does contain low levels of DELTA9-tetrahydrocannabino, the psychedelic substance in marijuana, the levels are so significantly less that they would not cause any reaction in humans. Hemp is one of the most commercially important plants closely related to marijuana. Hemp is used to make textiles, soaps, oils, food products, paper and sustainable fuel.

    Hackberry

    • Hackberry is a wood similar to elm used to make furniture. Hackberry includes several species within the genus Celtis, a part of the Cannabaceae family. Hackberry species are found both in temperate and tropical zones. They produce black edible fruits popular with birds in both climates, though the tropical varieties' fruits are larger. Northern hackberry is often planted along roadsides as a street tree.

    Trema Orientalis

    • This small tree is also known as an Indian charcoal tree or trema. It is an evergreen or deciduous shrub, depending on the variety and environment. Trema grows to heights of 8 meters and is a native species of Asia and South Africa. It produces small white and green flowers followed by small fruits that turn black as they ripen. The leaves and fruit of this plant are edible. It is easily established on poor soils as a stabilizer, though trema can become invasive in some climates.
