Introduction

Pot, also known as marijuana or cannabis, has been around for centuries and has been used for various purposes such as medicine, recreation, and even spiritual rituals. With the growing demand for cannabis, researchers and growers have been experimenting with cross-breeding the plant with other plants to produce new strains with unique properties such as increased potency or specific medical benefits. In this article, we will explore what plants have been crossed with pot and what effects it has had.

Hemp

Hemp is a variety of the Cannabis sativa plant and is often used for industrial purposes such as paper, clothing, and rope. While hemp and marijuana are both Cannabis sativa plants, hemp has a much lower THC content (the psychoactive compound in marijuana that produces a "high") and is grown for its fibers and seeds. However, hemp has been bred with high-THC marijuana strains in an attempt to produce hemp plants that can be used for both industrial and recreational purposes.

Mint

Cannabis has been bred with mint plants to produce strains with a minty flavor and scent. These strains are often used for medicinal purposes and are said to have a calming effect on the body.

Lavender

Lavender is another plant that has been crossed with cannabis to produce strains with a calming effect. These strains are often used for anxiety and stress relief and are said to have a sweet and floral flavor.

Chili Peppers

While it may seem strange, cannabis has been bred with chili peppers to produce strains with a spicy flavor and scent. These strains are often used for pain relief and are said to provide a "tingly" feeling similar to the sensation of eating spicy food.

Conclusion

There are many plants that have been crossed with pot to produce new strains with unique properties and flavors. While some of these strains are purely for recreational use, others have specific medical benefits and are used to treat various conditions such as anxiety, pain, and inflammation. It will be interesting to see what other plants will be crossed with cannabis in the future and what new strains will be created.
