The correct option is C Mescaline
Hashish, ganja, and marijuana all three of this psychoactive drug obtained from the same plant ie Hemp ( Cannabis sativa).
Marijuana is the dried flower and the leaves of the female plant of cannabis.
Hashish is also obtained from the cannabis plant but it is a more concentrated version of it. The Cannabis flower and leaves that fall off the plant are made into a ball and pressed with a knife and dried and then can be consumed orally or smoked.
Ganja is simply the leaves of the cannabis plants that are smoked.
All of the above three drugs have tetra hydro cannabinol as their active ingredients.
Mescaline is a hallucinogenic drug obtained from the plants of peyote cactus ( Lophophora Williams) with 3,4,5-trimethoxyphenethylamine as the active ingredient.
