A plant family that includes cannabis and hop plants, characterized by their use in medicine, textiles, and beverages.
From 'cannabis' plus the Latin suffix '-aceae' used in botanical taxonomy to denote plant families. This formal naming follows Linnaean classification.
Cannabis and hops are actually cousins in the Cannabinaceae family, which explains why they share some similar compounds—and why both have been cultivated by humans for thousands of years in completely different ways.
