Cannabis, also known as marijuana, came from a cannabis plant which is now being used as a medical alternative to treat diseases relating to the brain. The use of cannabis as a form of medical or recreational form is still fully debatable as most people are still against it. However, there are discoveries and on-going studies to prove their medical effects.
The persisting “illegalities” foreshadowing the full legal use of cannabis in all forms is because of its psychoactive effects from its ingredient, tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), among other 65 cannabinoids. It’s a part of the weed which triggers the brain to open its full capacity. Most users say that it provides them with strong hallucinations. Be that as it may, there are still fun facts about cannabis that you should know.
Cannabis is now going mainstream.
Cannabis, Marijuana, Weed or however you call, is the most popular illegal drug that is being used in America right now. Not including all other countries that are also secretly using this plant. But the new studies right now proving its medical benefits, Cannabis is now being used in 8 other states namely: Alaska, Colorado, California, Maine, Oregon, Nevada, Washington, and Massachusetts. The National Institue of Drug Abuse recognized 21 more states to use Cannabis for medical purposes. These facts prove that little by little, Cannabis is now welcomed for its serving purpose.
The difference between hemp and pot
Some say hemp like they have used it their entire life, while others call it pot just to sound cool. But the fact is, these two are different through a tiny and single genetic switch. Hemp doesn’t produce THC or tetrahydrocannabinol while a pot has tetrahydrocannabinol as its psychoactive ingredient too. Hemp is enriched with a nonpsychoactive called CBDA as pot has a mind-bending psychotic ailment that can make you see the whole universe.
An ounce of Cannabis
Talking about how much an ounce of Cannabis is in grams goes in several ways. While you can weigh this on your scale but according to smoke.io, an ounce of Cannabis is 28 in grams which is 0.028 in kilograms. Its weight solely depends on its quality and texture. You need to touch it to know how much you are getting. It is light but it shouldn’t be much smaller than your usual buy from a seller, perhaps.
Effects are different on women.
Female users have different effects once they use Cannabis whether for medical use or recreational ones. Females were found to get more sensitive from cannabis. Their senses and emotional levels are heightened and this could increase their tolerance on the drug. In such a case, this could also mean that females can develop drug dependency on cannabis. However, as users of Cannabis, it should be noted to only use minimal amounts to which you can rely on.
Note.
Whether you agree or disagree on the use of Cannabis, you cannot deny the fact that such a small plant can bring so much good tiding to everyone who wants to use it. It would be non-problematic if people are open to facts rather than hearsays.
