I read it all, really strange effects marijuana has on people
.No wonder it has such a high approval rating.Anyway had to do some research and what I found is very interesting.
The part of Marijuana that is helpful in medicines was almost bred out of the plant and lost in favor of the the part that gets one stoned.Here are some highlights and it is a very interesting story.
Story at-a-glance -
- 20 states in the US have legalized cannabis for medical purposes. Colorado and Washington state also permit recreational use of marijuana
- Medical cannabis is competition to the pharmaceutical industry, as the cannabis plant can take the place of a wide variety of synthetic drugs, especially for mood and anxiety disorders
- There are two very distinct groups of marijuana strains. One is cannabis; the other is hemp
- Hemp has no medicinal value as it only contains about four percent cannabidiol (CBD). It also contains less than 0.3 percent THC, which means it cannot produce a high
- Cannabis is potent medicine courtesy of high amounts of CBD, medicinal terpenes, and flavonoids. It also contains varying amounts of THC. The higher the THC, the more pronounced its psychoactive effects
