Solution

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.

Therefore the correct answer is option C
