Cannabis, often known as Sacred Plant, is a plant that has been used for centuries for both recreational and medicinal purposes. The cannabis plant contains over 100 different cannabinoids, with THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) and CBD (cannabidiol) being the most well-known. THC is responsible for the psychoactive effects, giving the ‘high’ sensation, while CBD is non-psychoactive and is known for its therapeutic benefits.
There are various strains of cannabis, each with unique effects and uses. Indica strains are known for their relaxing properties, making them ideal for nighttime use, while Sativa strains are more energizing and suitable for daytime use. Hybrid strains combine characteristics of both Indica and Sativa.
Cannabis can be consumed in multiple ways, including smoking, vaping, edibles, and topicals. Each method has different onset times and durations of effects. Smoking and vaping provide immediate effects, while edibles take longer to kick in but offer prolonged relief.
Understanding how cannabis affects the body and mind is crucial for responsible use. It’s important to start with a low dose, especially for beginners, and gradually increase it as needed.
By educating yourself about cannabis, you can make informed decisions and enjoy its benefits safely.
