AlL YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT CANNABIS

Almighty Cannabis (marijuana, stone, maryjane, smoke, trees, etc) call it however you deem fit, is a plant with mixed blessings on the society and has gained popularity in recent years globally. Mentioned anywhere, several opinions may arise based on knowledge, context, environment, use, and or personal preferences. To understand truth, facts must be established. Let’s journey briefly into this wonder and see if you maintain your stand on this or not.

Types of the cannabis plant

The cannabis plant is divided into two major types and under each type, there are sub categories called strains; Indica and Sativa. A third category exists and this is genetically engineered which is the hybrid.

Indica

Physically, indica is characterized by short bushes ad wider leaves and often grow faster. They also have higher yields than their sativa counterparts. Most of the medications produced from indica strains have higher CBD contents and lower THC counts. When consumed, they leave some or all of the following feelings;

·         increased mental relaxation

·         muscle relaxation

·         decreases nausea

·         decreases acute pain

·         increases appetite

·         increases dopamine (a neurotransmitter that helps control the brain’s reward and pleasure centers)

Indica strains are most suited for night time use as they aid relaxation.

Sativa

Sativa strains are the opposite of indica strains. They are characterized by slim taller plants with tall bushes. Their leaves are a lighter shade of green from the indica strains. They are less yielding as the indica. They require more light and extra effort and care. Medicines produces from this strain often contain more THC than CBD counts. When consumed, they leave some or all of the following feelings:

·         anti-anxiety

·         anti-depressant

·         treats chronic pain

·         increases focus and creativity

·         increases serotonin (a neurotransmitter involved in the regulation of learning, mood, sleep, anxiety and appetite)

Sativa strains are most suited for day time use due to their hyper activity in the body.

What are THC and CBD? How do they affect strain choice and or health?

THC is the component of the plant that is mainly psychoactive leaving a “high” feeling, whereas CBD is that part of the plant with curative ability. Below is a brief description of the two:

THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol)

When consumed, gives the effect of "flying" or "Being high". In that state, most people feel liberated & free from all the invisible strings society pull on them. They express their deepest thoughts & believes. THC stimulates cells in the brain to release dopamine, creating euphoria, according to NIDA. It also interferes with how information is processed in the hippocampus (part of the brain responsible for forming new memories). THC may create hallucinations, interfere with thinking and induce delusions the effects can last on an average length of two to three hours depending on the person and kick in 10 to 30 minutes after ingestion.

"In some cases, reported side effects of THC include elation, anxiety, tachycardia, short-term memory recall issues, sedation, relaxation, pain-relief and many more," said A.J. Fabrizio, a marijuana chemistry expert at Terra Tech Corp, a California agricultural company focused on local farming and medical cannabis. However, he said, a study in the British Journal of Pharmacology found that other types of cannabinoids, as well as terpenes (compounds that produce flavor and fragrance in plants), can modulate effects.

CBD (Cannabidol)

This is the substance found in cannabis that is non-intoxicating but with amazing health benefits. CBD is the second most abundant cannabinoid in the plant (of course THC is the obvious most abundant), and has many potential therapeutic benefits, including anti-inflammatory, analgesic, anti-anxiety and seizure-suppressant properties.
