- CGanja
- DHeroin
Correct answer
D. Heroin
Step-by-step solution
Cannabinoids are a class of diverse chemical compounds that interact with cannabinoid receptors present principally in the brain. Natural cannabinoids are obtained from the inflorescences of the plant Cannabis sativa. The flower tops, leaves, and the resin of the cannabis plant are used in various combinations to produce marijuana, hashish, charas, and ganja.
Heroin, commonly called smack, is chemically diacetylmorphine, which is a white, odourless, bitter crystalline compound. This is obtained by acetylation of morphine, which is extracted from the latex of the poppy plant Papaver somniferum.
Therefore, Heroin is not obtained from Cannabis sativa.
