Marijuana (Cannabis) belongs to family Cannabaceae. This plant is a great natural source of cannabinoids, which have several medical applications such as it is used for the treatment of anxiety and psychosis, disorders of motility and epilepsy. However, this plant is also notorious for its pollen allergic reactions. Mainly two species, that is, C. sativa L. and C.indica Lam. are involved in allergic reactions. In this study, morpho-palynological studies of both the species were conducted. A number of morphological differences were observed in the both species. C. sativa is tall with narrowed leaves and fibrous stalk plant while C. indica is short, bushier, broad leaves, and having woody stalk plant. Both the species are varied in their pollen characteristics. The polar diameter of C. sativa observed was 7.5 μm and equatorial diameter was 8 μm, and its shape was oblate-spheroidal. C. indica had 7 μm polar diameter, 7.5 μm equatorial diameter but its shape was similar to C. sativa, that is, oblate-spheroidal. About 40%‑50% people were affected with both these marijuana species and had symptoms of allergies like dry cough, congestion, itchy eyes, sore throat, nausea, a runny nose, watery eyes, and sneezing. It was concluded that both species' pollen are allergy causing and pollen of both species are different with variations in morphological and allergic symptoms.

两种引起过敏的大麻花粉的比较光和扫描电子显微镜研究

大麻(大麻)属于大麻科。这种植物是大麻素的重要天然来源,具有多种医疗用途,例如用于治疗焦虑症和精神病、运动障碍和癫痫。然而,这种植物也因其花粉过敏反应而臭名昭著。主要有两种,即C. sativa L.和C.indica Lam。参与过敏反应。在这项研究中,对这两个物种进行了形态孢粉学研究。在这两个物种中观察到许多形态差异。C. sativa高,叶子狭窄,茎秆植物纤维状,而C. indica是短、浓密、宽阔的叶子,并有木柄植物。这两个物种的花粉特征各不相同。观察到的苜蓿极径为7.5 μm,赤道直径为8 μm,呈扁球形。C. indica极径7 μm,赤道直径7.5 μm,但其形状与C. sativa相似,即扁球形。大约 40%-50% 的人受到这两种大麻的影响,并出现干咳、充血、眼睛发痒、喉咙痛、恶心、流鼻涕、流泪和打喷嚏等过敏症状。得出的结论是,这两个物种的花粉都引起过敏,并且两个物种的花粉不同,形态和过敏症状有所不同。
