https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marijuana_(word)Academic use
For legal, research and statistical reference, "marijuana" generally refers to the dried leaves and flowering tops (herbal cannabis), with by-products such as hashish or hash oil being uniquely defined and regulated.[22][23][24][25] Many legal references prefer the term "cannabis", for instance in the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs. However, many laws and regulations often use the term "marihuana" or "marijuana", for instance the Controlled Substances Act in the United States. Cannabis reform organizations, such as the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws and Marijuana Policy Project, alongside political organizations like Help End Marijuana Prohibition Party of Australia and the Marijuana Party of Canada, also use this term.
Final notable characteristic in my opinion is;
Cannabis sativa L. is a C3 plant but can use the C4 pathway when the temperature/humidity is optimal, or in a tropical region. This is an evolutionary change that Cannabis may have followed in order to thrive in desert/tropical locations, thus raising THC production to survive in warmer climates.
