What is Cannabis?
Cannabinoid drugs include cannabis. While research on the variety of cannabinoids found in the Cannabis sativa plant is ongoing, it is known to have two main types: non-psychoactive cannabinoid CBD and the psychoactive cannabinoid THC (delta9 tetrahydrocannabinol).1.Another frequent name for it is marijuana.
Effects of Cannabis
Any drug use carries some danger. As with any medicine, caution is advised when taking it.
Every person reacts to cannabis differently. Throughout a lifetime or on different occasions, even the same person may have distinct experiences.
While some express pleasure and relaxation, others report paranoia and worry.7.Several variables that may impact these variations include:
- size, weight, and health
- whether the person is used to taking it
- whether other drugs are taken around the same time
- the amount taken
- the strength of the drug
- expectations of consuming cannabis
- the environment of the individual
- the individual’s personality.6, 7
Medicinal Cannabis
Cannabis that has been prescribed to treat medical conditions like epilepsy is known as medicinal cannabis. It’s a quality-controlled product with THC and CBD concentrations that are listed. Australia has enacted legislation to make it easier for those with specific medical conditions to obtain medicinal cannabis.
