Best Answer

Marijuana is a plant, botanical name cannabis sativa.

Marijuana, like most plants, contains many substances. I've interpreted this question as meaning: What is it in marijuana that gets you stoned?

The ingredient responsible for the psychological effects of marijuana is THC which is short for Tetrahydrocannabinol. It acts on receptors in the Cannabinoid system in the brain.

It is hydrophobic (soluble in fat only, not in water) which means that it must be transported through the blood and is stored in fat tissue

THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol) is the ingredient that produces the "high" feeling, which is a great one!

What is the active ingredient in legal marijuana?

What, precisely, is "legal" marijuana? As far as the US federal government is concerned, there is no such thing. Marijuana is a Schedule I substance, DEA 7360; the active ingredients are tetrahydrocannabinols (several chemically distinct but closely related compounds that are listed collectively as a separate Schedule I substance, DEA 7370). "Legal marijuana" sounds like a slang or marketing term for something that isn't actually marijuana at all; if you can give the botanical name, we may be able to help you.
