Marijuana, also known as cannabis, is a psychoactive drug derived from the cannabis plant. It contains several compounds, including tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD), which are responsible for its effects on the body. The drug can be consumed in various forms, including smoking dried bud, using vape concentrates, or consuming edibles. It is important to note that the potency and effects of marijuana can vary depending on the method of consumption.
In terms of state law, the legality of marijuana varies across the United States. While some states have legalized marijuana for both recreational and medicinal use, others have only legalized it for medicinal purposes. It is important to be aware of the laws in your state before using or possessing marijuana.
Overall, understanding basic marijuana information is crucial for safe and responsible use. It is important to be informed about the different forms of consumption, compounds present in the drug, and legal implications of its use.
Higher CBD: Good for night-time use because it generally creates a body high.
Effects: Sedative, helps relieve anxiety and pain. May also cause sleepiness.
Higher THC: Good for day-time use and it generally delivers a cerebral high.
Effects: Energy, appetite stimulation, enhanced creativity, and helps relieve depression.
Hybrids are a mixture of indica and sativa, the genetics of the plants used influence which effect is more dominant.
Effects: Depending on the hybrid, it can have more properties of Indica plants or it can have more of Sativa. Be sure to check the label.
Tetrahydrocannabinol
Most psychoactive compound that provides pain relief, may reduce aggression, can stimulate appetite, and reduce nausea.
Causes a “high” leading to an altered perception of time and space and it can also create feelings of happiness or fatique.
Cannabidiol
Non-psychoactive compound offering relief for a wide range of symptoms including pain, anxiety, inflammation, seizures, MS, PTSD and more.
Cannabinol
Pronounced sedative properties aiding in pain relief and insomnia, with little to no psychoactive effects.
Cannabichromene
Has analgesic, anti-inflammatory and very promising antibiotic properties.
Over 100 different terpenes have been identified in the cannabis plant. They give cannabis varieties their smell and taste with distinctive flavors like citrus, berry, mint, and pine. Terpenes also help account for the unique effects induced by each cannabis strain by modifying how much THC passes through the blood-brain barrier.
To avoid inhaling smoke, a vaporizer “vape pen” can be used. These devices contain a battery-powered heating element that vaporizes concentrated cannabis oils, waxes or dry herbs. It pulls the active ingredients (including compounds like THC and CBD) from the marijuana or concentrate and collects the vapor in a storage unit. That vapor is then inhaled until the desired effect is reached.
